vmhgfs
VMHGFS(9) Open VM Tools VMHGFS(9)
NAME
vmhgfs - vmware kernel module
SYNOPSIS
modprobe vmhgfs
DESCRIPTION
This is kernel filesystem module. None of the Tools components depend on vmhgfs, nor does it have any dependencies of its own, so it can be
loaded at any time in the boot process.
When mounting, one must use an NFS-like "<host>:<export>" syntax. The <host> field must be ".host", while the <export> field can be "/", a
path to a specific Shared Folder, or a path to a subdirectory within that Shared Folder. Note that mounting may fail if Shared Folders are
disabled in the host; don't be alarmed. The vmhgfs filesystem supports a plethora of mount options, run vmware-hgfsmounter(8) -h to see
them. We typically exclude vmhgfs from the locate database as crawling the Shared Folders is time consuming. To do this, add "vmhgfs" to
PRUNEFS within updatedb's configuration file, typically found in /etc/updatedb.conf.
We also typically mount vmhgfs via:
mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/hgfs
Or by adding this line to /etc/fstab:
.host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults 0 0
The net effect is that all Shared Folders appear and disappear at /mnt/hgfs as they're added or removed.
OPTIONS
vmhgfs has no options.
