[Bug 1572211] Re: vmhgfs module not built
well this needs to be fixed and its not ubu specific. its DEBIAN specific, above stretch. you hit this error when upgrading too. I keep getting systemctl errors on boot because the module just isnt there. neither for open-vm-tools nor fuse. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572211 Title: vmhgfs module not built To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1572211/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@jamie-shareable VMWare developers have indicated[1] that the kernel driver should not be used with 4.0 and newer kernels. I am going to close this bug as won't fix for the kernel compilation issue.

[Bug 1572211] Re: vmhgfs module not built
The project maintainers are welcome to declare vmhgfs unsupported, but until they do I think the current situation is a regression in functionality. vmhgfs-fuse just isn't a functional replacement yet. (Background: I am using VMWare Fusion 8.0 on a Mac. I had a working system which has broke on upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 due to vmhgfs going away, and unfortunately after trying a number of methods I still haven't found a solution to replace it. NFS and CIFS to the host have not worked out, and Samba client is currently broken. I am rather desparately now trying a patched vmhgfs-fuse, but having vmhgfs kernel module available would be more welcome.) ** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572211 Title: vmhgfs module not built To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1572211/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1572211] Re: vmhgfs module not built
The vmhgfs-fuse client is too buggy to use for some things, such as running Git, as reported (by me) at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1579544 Even if that's fixed, the vmhgfs-fuse client has different behaviour with file permissions and creating files on the host, compared with the vmhgfs kernel module. So until vmhgfs-fuse supports most of the functionality and fairly reliably, it would still be useful to be able to use the vmhgfs kernel module. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572211 Title: vmhgfs module not built To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1572211/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for pointing out. I was not aware of this. The fuse-client is still barely undocumented.

This is expected behavior, the host guest filesystem (HGFS) is handled in usespace by FUSE rather than in the kernel. >From [open-vm-tools-announce] open-vm-tools 10.0.0 release [1] and in the changelog: New features in open-vm-tools 10.0.0 include: - Shared Folders: For Linux distributions with kernel version 4.0.0 and higher, there is a new FUSE based Shared Folders client which is used as a replacement for the kernel mode client.
