During the bootup process and after VMware Tools has been installed, you might see a message that mounting HGFS (Host-Guest File System) shares failed. HGFS is used by VMware to share folders between the host and the guest. Installing VMware Tools adds an entry to /etc/fstab to specify the location of shared folders. To avoid the mounting HGFS shares failure message, comment out the line in /etc/fstab added by VMware Tools:
# .host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults,ttl=5 0 0
