解决open-vm-tools无法复制粘贴文件问题

在使用vmware kali linux时一直忍受着一个情况：

open-vm-tools Error when getting information for file "//tmp/VMwareDnD/3jTONh/:xxx: No such file or directory

无法复制文件，有时拖拽也不行的情况。

终于今天忍不住了，决定彻底解决这个问题

首先，vmware的增强工具是：open-vm-tools和open-vm-tools-desktop。复制字符没问题，就是复制文件和拖拽文件有问题。

在查询一番资料后，发现有篇文章写到：

For Drag-and-Drop and Copy-and-Paste functionality, open-vm-tools needs to mount a special filesystem (vmblock-fuse). Check if this is already enabled

拖拽和复制、粘贴文件，需要挂载一个特殊的文件系统：vmblock-fuse，先查看这个文件系统挂载服务的情况：

1

╰─➤  systemctl status run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount

2

● run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount - VMware vmblock fuse mount

3

     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)

4

     Active: inactive (dead)

5

      Where: /run/vmblock-fuse

6

       What: vmware-vmblock-fuse

7

       Docs: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/master/open-vm-tools/vmblock-fuse/design.txt

发现这个服务居然是inactive状态并且是disabled状态，意味着：没有启动，并且重启后也不会自启。难怪无法复制、粘贴。

1. 开机自启

2

systemctl enable run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount

2. 启动服务

5

systemctl start run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount

现在来查看服务状态，发现启动成功。

1

╰─➤  systemctl status run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount

2

● run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount - VMware vmblock fuse mount

     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

     Active: active (mounted) since Tue 2021-03-30 16:02:46 CST; 5s ago

      Where: /run/vmblock-fuse

       What: vmware-vmblock

但是此时仍然无法复制粘贴，还需要再重启vmware-tools服务

1

systemctl restart vmware-tools

至此，可以随意复制、粘贴文件。
