Workarounds for Shared folders are not visible under/mnt/hgfs after you install VMware Tools

Trapped in this problem for a long time, once thought so forget it. I can share files between the main plane by dragging and dropping the copy feature, or you can set up a network share to achieve the same purpose, why "hang" on this tree. Helpless obsessive-compulsive disorder, last night to try to solve this problem, this time changed a train of thought, finally completely solved the problem.

Encounter this problem, first think with Google search, with "VMware shared folder Hgfs" keyword, you can find this method, execute the following two commands:

1. sudo apt-get install open-vm-dkms or sudo apt-get install Open-vm-tools

2. Sudo mount-t vmhgfs. host://mnt/hgfs I don't know how many people have solved this problem by this method, in short I have only succeeded once, but after restarting the virtual machine and then executing the 2nd command will be an error. Feel this way to rely on luck, I bad luck, but also therefore have the following this completely solve this problem method.

When you install VMware tools in front of you, you're all the way back, and you're not too careful about the installation process. In fact, the installation process error message has already mentioned the cause of this problem, this time of reinstallation, notice that the installation of this feature failed to prompt this message: "The Vmxnet driver is no longer supported on kernels 3.3 and great Er ... ". So directly this sentence as the key word with Google search, then found this method:

1. Reinstall VMware Tools, after mounting the image files in the virtual machine, unzip the compressed files inside the current user's home directory, which is the "Vmware-tools-distrib" folder in the home directory.

2. Create a new script named fix.sh in the home directory with the following script:

3. After you add the executable property to the script, run the script and restart it.

Set-x
CD $home
cd vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source
sudo tar xf vmhgfs.tar
sudo wget https:// Raw.github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches/master/patches/vmhgfs/vmhgfs-d_count-kernel-3.11-tools-9.6.0.patch
sudo patch-p0 <vmhgfs-d_count-kernel-3.11-tools-9.6.0.patch
sudo mv Vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs.orig.tar
sudo Tar CF Vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs-only
CD $home
cd vmware-tools-distrib
sudo./vmware-install.pl-- Clobber-kernel-modules=vmhgfs
Set +x
