Today, I would like to share with you the relevant knowledge points about how to set up folder sharing in CentOS 7 in VMware. The content is detailed and the logic is clear. I believe most people still know too much about this knowledge, so share this article for your reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

The file sharing between physical machine and virtual machine is realized through vmware tools. However, centos 7 may encounter some problems when installing (or updating) vmware tools, which requires manual modification of the source file, packaging and reinstallation.

Environment description

Environment version physical machine windows 10vmwarevmware workstation 12 pro, version 12.5.2 build-4638234centos 7kernel-3.10.0-514.21.1.el7.x86_64

1. Check vmware tools

Check to see if vmware tools is installed, and if so, skip to step 4 to configure the shared folder.

Click menu virtual machine

If the updated vmware tools shown in the following figure appears in the drop-down list, it is installed (but this does not mean that the shared folder can be successfully configured, and if the vmware default shared directory / mnt/hgfs/ does not exist at this time, it basically means that it needs to be reinstalled), and you can skip the installation step temporarily.

If the installation vmware tools appears, click install directly

2. Install vmware tools

After clicking to install vmwaretools or update vmwaretools, centos will automatically mount vmwaretools, double-click to open it, and copy the vmwaretools-x.tar.gz inside to the desktop.

Open the terminal on the desktop and extract the tar.gz package

The copy code is as follows:

[hadoop@centos7-2 desktop] $tar-xzvf vmwaretools-10.0.10-4301679.tar.gz

Enter the extracted vmware-tools-distrib directory and start the installation (you need to have a root identity). If you need to enter information in the process, enter all the way and use the default setting.

[hadoop@centos7-2 vmware-tools-distrib] $sudo. / vmware-install.pl

The installation process may not go smoothly, such as the following error

Checked on the Internet, vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source/vmhgfs-only/page.c needs to be modified at this time.

[hadoop@centos7-2 vmware-tools-distrib] $cd lib/modules/source/ [hadoop@centos7-2 source] $tar-xvf vmhgfs.tar [hadoop@centos7-2 source] $cd vmhgfs-only/ [hadoop@centos7-2 vmhgfs-only] $chmod 777 page.c # this file is read-only, and the permissions are changed here Just make it writable [hadoop@centos7-2 vmhgfs-only] $vi page.c # enter file editing mode: set number # shows line number: 1639 # skip to line 1639, which needs to be modified

Put line 1639:

Change if linux_version_code > = kernel_version (3,19,0) to if linux_version_code > = kernel_version (3,10,0)

Description: because the kernel version of centos 7 is 3.10.0

After modifying and saving, re-archive

[hadoop@centos7-2 source] $mv vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs.tar.bak [hadoop@centos7-2 source] $tar-cvf vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs-only [hadoop@centos7-2 source] $cd.. /.. /.. [hadoop@centos7-2 vmware-tools-distrib] $sudo. / vmware-install.pl

After that, I went all the way back to the car and finally saw the following message, indicating that the installation was successful.

Creating a new initrd boot image for the kernel. Starting virtual printing daemon: donestarting vmware-tools (via systemctl): [ok] the configuration of vmware tools 10.0.10 build-4301679 for linux for this running kernel completed successfully.enjoy,--the vmware team

Restart centos

3. Configure shared folders

Open virtual machine settings

Enter virtual machine settings

Enable shared folders and add directories that need to be shared on the physical machine

The default share path of vmware is in / mnt/hgfs, which is written in the script of vmware tools, which can be found in / etc/init.d/vmware-tools:

Vmhgfs_mnt= "/ mnt/hgfs" # mount all hgfs filesystems "vmware_mount_vmhgfs () {if [" `vmware_vmhgfs_use_ mounted` "=" no "]; then if [" `vmware_vmhgfs_use_ fuse` "=" yes "]; then mkdir-p $vmhgfs_mnt vmware_exec_selinux" $vmdb_answer_bindir/vmhgfs-fuse\-o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other $vmhgfs_mnt "mount-t vmhgfs .host: / $vmhgfs_mnt" fi fi}

At this point, you can see the folder shared on the physical machine in centos 7:

[hadoop@centos7-2] $ll / mnt/hgfs/dr-xr-xr-x. 1 root root 0 jun 15 00:17 pc-share is all the contents of this article "how to set up folder sharing in CentOS 7 in VMware". Thank you for reading!
