Hi, I have successfully installed VMware Tools on Nevada build 93, VMware Shared Folders are working - I can see the host content, however, they are mounted as root, and I can't access them as normal user. I know that the shared folders filesystem (called "hgfs") provides options uid and gid just for this, but I can't get the mount command to work:
$ mount ... /hgfs on /hgfs read/write/setuid/devices/dev=139 on Fri Aug 8 17:02:26 2008 $ cat /etc/mnttab ... /hgfs /hgfs vmhgfs dev=139 1218207746 $ pfexec umount /hgfs $ pfexec mount -F vmhgfs /hgfs mount: Mount point cannot be determined $ pfexec mount -F vmhgfs /hgfs /hgfs mount: Operation not applicable to FSType vmhgfs $ pfexec mount -F vmhgfs /hgfs /hgfs/ mount: Operation not applicable to FSType vmhgfs What I originally wanted is to supply a "-o uid=101,gid=10" option so that I can read/write the files, but I can't get even the basic mount working. Since I am new to Solaris, I think I am missing something about its mount command syntax, and hope someone can point it out. Thanks! This message posted from opensolaris.org
