Cannot Canonicalize Mount Point
only takes a minute: Sign up Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question Anybody can answer The best answers are voted up and rise to the top Files missing in /mnt/hgfs on Ubuntu VM? up vote open-vm-tools hgfs 4 down vote favorite 3 I am running Ubuntu 64-bit on VMWare workstation 10. I want to access the files on my windows 8 PC (both on same PC). I have checked "always enabled" for folder sharing on VMWare and gave path to my drives (E,F,G and a folder on my PC). Installed VM tools, they're upto date. The first two worked fine for me. But for the third one - "Error: cannot mount filesystem: No unknown filesystem type vmhgfs such device" is being displayed. I am not able to find the shared files in /mnt/hgfs. sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools sudo mkdir /mnt/hgfs sudo mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/hgfs Should I enable any permission access for my drives. For the sharing properties of the drives on W8, I enabled "Share this folder" option. Even then I cannot see shared folders in my hgfs (ubuntu). I am a new bee to linux OS, so please help.

Either they don't work or they do un-recommended things like installing the old deprecated VMWare http://askubuntu.com/questions/758917/getting-shared-folders-working-in-vmware-fusion-8-1-0-and-ubuntu-14-04 Tools I'm looking for a solution that uses the recommended open-vm-tools The offical instructions for Ubuntu 14.04 on vmware's site say VMware recommends using the Open VM Tools redistributed by the operating system vendors. They then say To use Open VM Tools: Add the vmhgfs Driver If you are using the interactive file drag-and-drop feature in VMware Workstation and Fusion, install the vmhgfs driver in the virtual machine. This driver is not included inbox in the operating system. Installing the additional vmhgfs driver does not disturb the other inbox VMware drivers or Open VMware Tools. To install this driver: Install Open VMware Tools. Install the traditional TAR Format VMware Tools that is bundled with VMware Workstation or Fusion products. Add the deployPkg Tools Plug-in If you are using the virtual machine as a template or if it will be protected by SRM (Site Recovery Manager), then install the deployPkg Tools plug-in. To install this plug-in: Obtain and import the VMware Packaging Public Keys: Create a directory on your Ubuntu virtual machine to store the VMware Packaging Public Keys.

(Guest: Fedora 21 ; Host: Windows 7 Pro; Workstation 11) bonnie201110141 Jan 12, 2015 11:58 PM (in response to psue) Please paste the tools version of Fedora 21 by executing "vmtoolsd -v" in guest. It might be caused that you did not have vmware-tools installed. Instead, you are running open-vm-tools in guest which don't have shared folder installed.If you don't have vmware-tools installed, you should manually install it in either of two ways:1) Uninstall open-vm-tools, and install vmware-tools2) Install vmware-tools in compability mode (i.e. without uninstall open-vm-tools).To install vmware-tools, you need to have GCC and kernel headers installed.

I can't seem to mount a directory from Windows through VMware Player into Photon. open-vm-tools.spec certainly seems to imply that it should be doable. Here's what I did: create a vm with a share called "test" minimal photon install systemctl enable vmtoolsd systemctl start vmtoolsd mkdir /mnt/test vmware-hgfsclient show the share I have configured in VMware Player /usr/sbin/mount.vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/test Error: cannot mount filesystem: No such device /usr/sbin/mount.vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/test-directory-does-not-exist Error: cannot canonicalize mount point: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/mount.vmhgfs -v .host:/ /mnt/test Original command line: "/usr/sbin/mount.vmhgfs -v .host:/ /mnt/test" Host component of share name is ".host" Directory component of share name is "/" Error: cannot mount filesystem: No such device It seems like all the components are there, but it's just missing some magic glue... suezzelur commented Jul 28, 2015 What happens when you specifically mount a share location like below: mount -t vmhgfs .host:/foo /mnt/foo or add an entry to /etc/fstab file? https://pubs.vmware.com/workstation-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.ws.using.doc%2FGUID-AB5C80FE-9B8A-4899-8186-3DB8201B1758.html suezzelur commented Jul 28, 2015 Also, are you using a TP1 build of photon? vmhgfs was added as a kernel module in a later build (current master build has this inbuilt). Can you do lsmod | grep vmhgfs and see if the module is running? nnordrum commented Jul 28, 2015 mount -t vmhgfs .host:/foo /mnt/foo mount: unknown filesystem type 'vmhgfs' if I do: ln -s /usr/sbin/mount.vmhgfs /sbin/mount.vmhgfs then: mount -t vmhgfs .host:/foo /mnt/foo Error: cannot mount filesystem: No such device cat /etc/photon-release VMware Photon Linux 1.0
