centos6.5安装vmware tools&共享文件夹显示
1. 点击VM中“虚拟机(M)”->“设置”，将cd/dvd使用iso镜像文件清空
2. 创建挂载目录
1 mkdir /media/cdrom 2 mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom 3 4 安装虚拟机出现以下提示： 5 mount:block device /dev/sr0 is write - protected , mounting read-only 6 说明系统光驱加载成功，因为光驱是只读的，所以提示write-protected，mounting read-only，sr0是光驱设备名， 7 通过以下命令：ll /dev/cdrom 8 看到 9 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 3 Dec 25 2013 /dev/cdrom -> sr0 10 即/dev/cdcom是sr0的软链接 11 12 改成 13 mount -o remount,rw /dev/sr0 /media
3. 拷贝解压，进入解压目录，执行，一路回车默认配置。
cd media/
1 cp VMwareTools-9.6.2-1688356.tar.gz /root 2 3 cd /root 4 tar -xzvf VMwareTools-9.6.2-1688356.tar.gz 5 6 cd vmware-tools-distrib/ 7 ./vmware-install.pl
4. windows主机上设置共享文件夹，在centos上对应是/mnt/hgfs/共享文件夹目录下
5. centos配置信息
1 用 vmware-hgfsclient 命令可以看到你的共享文件夹目录 2 使用 mount -t vmhgfs .host:/shareFolder /mnt/hgfs 命令挂载该共享文件夹。其中.host:/Documents是共享名，只需把Documents换成使用vmware-hgfsclient 命令得到的目录，/mnt/hgfs是挂载点 3 设置成开机挂载，用vi编缉/etc/fstab中的内容，在最下面增加一行内容为： 4 .host:/shareFolder /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults 0 0
