I just downloaded the last stable version from ubuntu website. –Patrick May 8 '10 at 14:24 add a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted I just had the same problem with shared folders on Ubuntu 10.04 under VirtualBox and found this post with a workaround. Hopefully, VMWare will have a similar solution. First, comment out the share mounting line in /etc/fstab. It looks something like this: SharedFolderName /mount/path vboxsf rw 0 0 Then edit the /etc/rc.local file to add the mount point. It will look something like this: mount.vboxsf -w SharedFolderName /mount/pat

Re: Linux Guest Cannot Mount /mnt/hgfs "no such device" danjj Jun 9, 2008 2:13 AM (in response to aniva) I just upgraded to 1.1.3 and with my Centos5 guest, I used the X software installer to upgrade the tools. I am still getting HGFS mount failed, though I see the vmhgfs kernel module from modprobe. When I try to manually mount I get "Protocol Error". When I run vmware-hgfsclient, it prints a warning: HGFS is disabled in the host. I have checked that shares are enabled.

The /mnt/hgfs is a place where VMware mounts the "Host-Guest File System" used to share files between the host and guest machines. Given the information you provided, it's difficult to tell ehy the error occurs. It might be outdated VMware Tools inside the machine or misconfigured share. share|improve this answer answered Sep 14 at 8:42 techraf 3,06571128 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.
