产生根源是因为Linux kernel升级之后，vmware-tools没有及时更新。
网上有个第三方的解决方案。测试centos6.4和Ubuntu 14.04 desktop可用
1、将vmware-tools复制出来
2、下载patch文件，链接见底部
3、

# cd ~/vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source

# sudo tar xf vmhgfs.tar

# sudo wget https://raw.github.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches/master/patches/vmhgfs/vmhgfs-d_count-kernel-3.11-tools-9.6.0.patch

# sudo patch -p0 <vmhgfs-d_count-kernel-3.11-tools-9.6.0.patch

# sudo mv vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs.orig.tar

# sudo tar cf vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs-only

#cd ~/vmware-tools-distrib

4、./vmware-install.pl 重新编译安装

如果patch失败，可以尝试手动将patch中的内容替换到相应文件中，patch内容见链接下 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rasa/vmware-tools-patches/master/patches/vmhgfs/vmhgfs-d_count-kernel-3.11-tools-9.6.0.patch
