WM共享XP文件给Linux方法

1.安装vmtools for linux:

启动VM中的linux，选择vmware workstation程序菜单中VM > install VMware tools...



执行过程中会出现如下的问题：



（以下的命令要用超级用户的权限执行，即以root的身份执行）

执行：

mkdir /mnt/cdrom

mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom （vmtools的安装文件放在vmware虚拟的cdrom中，首先要mount上这个光驱才能找到安装文件）

cd /mnt/cdrom

tar -zxvf VMwareTools-5.0.0-12124.i386.tar.gz -C /tmp （把安装文件解压到/tmp）

cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib

./vmware-install.pl （执行vwware的安装脚本，这个脚本是用perl编写的）

在这里，安装程序会询问安装文件存放位置和设置分辨率等一系列问题，在大多数情况下，安装默认配置vmware tools就可以正常工作，因此，这里对每一个问题按回车键选择默认配置

安装完以后，vmware会添加一个vmhgfs的模块到内核中，可以使用lsmod查看。

The guest operating system has locked the CD-ROM door and is probably using the CD-ROM, which can prevent the guest from recognizing media changes. If possible, eject the CD-ROM from inside the guest before disconnecting.

Disconnect anyway (and override the lock)?

提示说客户机系统已经锁定CD-ROM并且可能正在使用它。如果可能请弹出CD-ROM。现在我们要做的就是点击YES,然后发现到虚拟机中看CD-ROM中是空的，所以我们重启一下虚拟机然后进到虚拟机里的CD-ROM中可以发现VMwareTools-x.x.x.xxxx.tar.gz,我们把这个文件拷贝到别的地方，当然也可以不拷贝。

执行：

mkdir /mnt/cdrom

mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom （vmtools的安装文件放在vmware虚拟的cdrom中，首先要mount上这个光驱才能找到安装文件）

cd /mnt/cdrom

tar -zxvf VMwareTools-5.0.0-12124.i386.tar.gz -C /tmp （把安装文件解压到/tmp）

cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib

./vmware-install.pl （执行vwware的安装脚本，这个脚本是用perl编写的）

In which directory do you want to install the daemon files?

[/usr/sbin]

In which directory do you want to install the library files?

[/usr/lib/vmware-tools]

The path "/usr/lib/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program is

The installation of VMware Tools 8.1.3 build-203739 for Linux completed

successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any

time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".

Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by

invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want

this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]

The configuration of VMware Tools 8.1.3 build-203739 for Linux for this running

kernel completed successfully.

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take

effect.

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:

"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.

To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and

file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:

1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user

2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,

3. Restart your X session.

To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:

/etc/init.d/networking stop

rmmod pcnet32

rmmod vmxnet

modprobe vmxnet

/etc/init.d/networking start

Enjoy,

安装完成之后就可以在/mnt/hgfs/Share下看到了。其中这里的Share文件夹是在虚拟机的菜单项VM->Settings->Options标签页中的ShareFolders指定的。
