Comment 3 for bug 1595124

Now that the old vmhgfs kernel module is deprecated there really should be something akin to what arch has: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VMware/Installing_Arch_as_a_guest#fstab . They provide an adapter mount type "fuse.vmhgfs-fuse" which can substitute for vmhgfs in the fstab. Potentially the default mount.vmhgfs could even do that job making lots of old stuff just work again (admittedly probably not a good idea until the fuse stuff actually works reliably and even then it might still be a bad idea...).
