File transfer to a VMware guest stalls, always after around 64KB of data has been sent
Issue
- A file transfer such as scp will stall between two VMware guests and it always seems to be after having transferred around 64KB of data.
- Packet captures taken on both sides shows that when the problem occurs, packets transmitted by the sender no longer arrive on the receiver guest, seemingly lost somewhere in between.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- VMware ESXi virtualization
