I'm running UBuntu 11.10 as a guest in VMWare Player on a WIndows 7 laptop and would like to mount an NTFS directory in UBuntu but not sure how to go about it. All the directions I've found are written from the perspective that Linux is running in a dual-boot environment whereas from inside the guest environment I don't have any NTFS in fdisk.
fdisk -l
:
Disk /dev/sda: 21.5 GB, 21474836480 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2610 cylinders, total 41943040 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0008a459
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2048 40894463 20446208 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 40896510 41940991 522241 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 40896512 41940991 522240 82 Linux swap / Solaris
I was expecting to see an NTFS device though as I'd enabled shared folders in my virtual machine settings. Can someone point me to to some info on the matter?
root@ubuntu:/usr/bin# vmware-hgfsclient
BUT, they are not mounted, and I have no hgfs folder. Also mounting the folder does not work.vmware-config-tools.pl
I get compile errors:/tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmhgfs-only/filesystem.c:48:28: fatal error: linux/smp_lock.h: No such file or directory
Has anyone else seen this? I am running generic ubuntu 11.10 (64 bit) on VMware workstation 7.1.4 br
