Mounts the subdirectory bar within the share foo to /var/lib/barįor Linux kernel prior to version 4.0, you can use VMware-specific options in addition to the standard mount syntax. host:/foo/bar /var/lib/bar -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other host:/foo /tmp/foo -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other host:/ /home/user1/shares -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other Mount Command Syntax Linux Kernel Prior to 4.0 The commands also vary depending on the Linux-kernel version of the guest. You can use different mount commands to mount all shares, one share, or a subdirectory within a share to any location in the file system. Linux kernels 4.0 and later use a FUSE file system component.

In Linux kernels prior to version 4.0, the VMware Tools services script loads a driver that performs the mount. It was working before and i have not changed anything.After you enable a shared folder, you can mount one or more directories or subdirectories in the shared folder to any location in the file system in addition to the default location of /mnt/hgfs.ĭepending on the kernel version of the Linux guest operating system, VMware Tools uses different components to provide shared-folder functionality. Host and VM are Windows 10 and i'am Running the most actual Version. Sometimes i can save 20 images without problems, sometimes only two.

Those freezes are random and i'am unable to reproduce. Only after a complete restart of the host i'am able to power on the VM.

When i try i got an Error : "Failed to connect pipe to virtual machine". Only killing the process on the host machine works but then i'am unable to start the VM again. Also forcing the VM to close doesn't work at this point. I'am unable to power off or to restart the VM. While doing this, the VM randomly freezes at the point where the "Save under" windows opens. More precisely, i was browsing through some websites and i wanted to save some images from that website into my shared folder. Since recently (mostly V16) (VMware Workstation Pro) my VM freezes while i'am trying to write files into a shared folder.
