share partition with createrawvmdk method

[hcimadomo]

hello,
i use "createrawvmdk" internal command to create an access of a partition for my guest ( my host is ubuntu hardy and my guest is windows xp).
It work well: i can view, in read/write access, the partition in my host system (using a classic mount command) and in my guest system (using disk manager).
However, the view of filesystem is not synchronized: if i create a folder "test" in guest, i don't see it in host until i unmount/remount the partition. It's same in the other direction : if i create a folder "test1" in host, i don't see it in guest until i reboot.
I presume it's due to .vmdk layer. How resolve it ?

thank for your help

PS : VB 2.0.2 on ubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) 32 bits.

It's not advised to have the RAW Disk Access partition mounted in the Host System. It can give errors on the file table, trashing it completely and produce data loss. If you want to be able to access the whole disk on both systems at the same time, use Shared Folders or Network Shares. See the manual for how to set up SF.
