A word of caution though: vmhgfs module is compilable only on <3.10  
kernels. There are patches for newer kernels and even a whole OSS project  
with patches for newer kernels, but the stability of the filesystem is not  
all right. Both oracle and postgres databases occasionally end with  
corrupted database if the database files are being hold on vmhgfs (I had  
linux host and linux guest setup).
