Where in ubuntu do I see the folders that OSX is sharing with it? Do I have to make my own mount points, manually mount them, etc? (Yes, I can use /etc/fstab).Ģ. Fusion's Sharing dialog box provides no way at all to even specify ubuntu directories, so how do I share them?ġ. So I thought I'd maybe share an ubuntu folder with OSX. Now what? I read and reread the Fusion help (Oh, for a manual like Virtualbox's!), told my Mac to share a folder, told Fusion where the folder is and then - what?īy giving the command $ sudo mount /mnt/hgfs, I got the shared folder to show up. Wrong! After a day or so of googling and looking thru the forums, I finally found Woody Z's patch of the VMware tools installer and I got the tools installed. I thought that sharing files between my Macbook Pro running OSX 10.5.7 would be a no-brainer!! As it was with Virtualbox.

I made some ubuntu 9.04 VMs (both server and desktop both 32-bit). I was very pleased with the fact that I could clone VMs, network them together, etc. After having fought the good fight with Virtualbox, I got an evaluation copy of VMware Fusion 2 (version 2.0.4 (159196)) plus a little help from a friend of mine who lives nearby who uses it.
