Thanks Bernd, other than the issue about server VMs, would the solution be acceptable for another mount point? If so, what is a good mount point?

Adding an automount service to the desktop package might be acceptable, but only if it is not in /mnt. That is reserved for rescuing filesystems and similar things. Best regards, Bernd Am 21.

This works by sending an RPC from WS / Fusion to vmtoolsd in the VM. But this does not persist on a reboot, and does not happen when the VM is powered off. Attached is a patch for the debian files that adds a systemd mount file that mounts /mnt/hgfs with the same options that are used by vmtoolsd to mount the shared folders. It also moves the loading of the fuse module to the base package since vmhgfs uses fuse. Thanks, Oliver -- Diese Nachricht wurde von meinem Android-Gerät mit K-9 Mail gesendet.
