Comment 5 for bug 1551558

@drolevar,

Could you elaborate a bit how you get hgfs auto-mounted please?

The following is what I did to my freshly insalled Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

apt-get -y install open-vm-tools
apt-get -y install open-vm-tools-desktop

echo '.host:/ /mnt/hgfs fuse.vmhgfs-fuse allow_other,uid=1000,gid=1000,auto_unmount,users,defaults 0 0' \
 | tee -a /etc/fstab

but when I tried to mout it, I get the bad superblock error

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on .host:/,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

when I tried to reboot, the system get into maintenance mode because some vmhgfs module failed to load.

Thanks
