Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2:10.3.10-2 Currently, when "shared folders" is enabled in VMware Workstation or Fusion while the VM is running, the mount point will be created and mounted. 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
