After installing Vmtools to Red Hat 9.0 in the VM, three prompts appear during system boot, respectively:
First place: Mounting local filesystem:Error:Cannot Mount Filesystem:protocol Error [FAILED]
Second place: Starting vmware-tools:starting VMware Tools services in the virtual machine:
Switching to guest configuration:
Guest FileSystem driver:
Mounting HGFS share:vmware Hgfs:hgfs is disabled in the host [FAILED]
Third place: Mounting other filesystem:vmware Hgfs:hgfs was disabled in the host Error:cannot Mount Filesystem:protocol Error [FAILED]
Workaround:
Shut down (be sure to shut down) the system on the VM, right click on the virtual machine, open "Virtual machine settings (settings)", Switch to "Options" tab, click "Shared Folders", the default is disabled state, the mouse selected, on the right " Folder sharing, select Always enabled, you can select Add in the box below to select the win folder that you want to share in the Linux section. Finally click "OK".
Restart the system in the VM, just the error message is gone. And you can use the LS/MNT/HGFS command to see the folder you just shared, in the Linux system can be used in this folder content.
