Hello Florian and thanks for this bug report. The vmware page you linked says that:
This issue is resolved in VMware vSphere 6.7 Update 3, available at VMware downloads. which makes me think that: - This is actually a vSphere bug - The bug is fixed in the newer versions of vSphere - The proposed change to open-vm-tools.service is a workaround. Could you please confirm the above, especially the fact that this is now fixed? Workaround for high-impact issues can be included in Ubuntu if necessary, however I doubt the impact of this problem is high enough to justify a SRU to Focal (see the process details at [1]), especially given that a fix already exists. This makes be doubt that the proposed change is worth including at all, especially given that open-vm-tools is almost a sync from Debian. However I lack familiarity the the VMware virtualization technology and I may be missing the scope of this problem. Is there a reason why this is better fixed with an Ubuntu upgrade rather than with a vSphere update? Thanks!
