I _thought_ this was related to [this issue](https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/6775), but now I'm thinking it isn't. Also, perhaps this isn't the best destination for this report... so feel free to close this if I'm just dumping it in the wrong place. \n\nMy environment: \n- OS X 10.11.6\n- VMware Fusion 8.1.1\n- Vagrant 1.8.5\n- Vanilla `Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo)` box offered by Red Hat as part of their Container Development kit, which you can find [here (free registration required)](http://red.ht/29FjHvh)\n\nHere's what I did:\n1. Created a new directory and ran `vagrant init`\n2. Updated my `Vagrantfile`:\n   - Changed the box to the Red Hat box\n   - Added a line to create `/mnt/hgfs`:\n     \n     ```\n      config.vm.provision \"shell\",\n        inline: \"mkdir /mnt/hgfs\"\n     ```\n3. Ran `vagrant up`\n4. `vagrant ssh`ed in:\n   - Checked that `/mnt/hgfs` was created successfully\n   - Installed `open-vm-tools`; ensured the service was enabled to start at boot\n5. Ran `vagrant reload` (not sure if this was necessary or useful in any way)\n6. `touch`ed `hello_world` in the Vagrant project path, then `vagrant ssh`ed in to see if the file was synced to `/vagrant` – it wasn't\n\nMight be useful to know the `open-vm-tools` version, too:\n\n```\n[vagrant@rhel-cdk ~]$ vmtoolsd -v\nVMware Tools daemon, version 9.10.2.48224 (build-2822639)\n```\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/comments/267504044","html_url":"https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/7763#issuecomment-267504044","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/7763","id":267504044,"user":{"login":"mvermaes","id":4127064,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4127064?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvermaes","html_url":"https://github.com/mvermaes","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvermaes/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvermaes/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvermaes/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvermaes/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvermaes/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvermaes/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvermaes/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvermaes/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mvermaes/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-12-16T02:44:54Z","updated_at":"2016-12-16T02:44:54Z","body":"For what it's worth, here is the procedure we use: https://github.com/mvermaes/centos-vmware-tools. Like @dky mentioned, using open-vm-tools, plus the HGFS driver from the proprietary tools for synced folder support is the best option we've found so far. vagrant reload/kernel update hasn't really been tested though.\r\n\r\nThis is for the official centos/7 box, but Bento's experiment with only relying only on open-vm-tools was also rolled back, see https://github.com/chef/bento/pull/638#issuecomment-250497781 and https://github.com/chef/bento/issues/667. RHEL/CentOS 7.3 brings in open-vm-tools 10.x, but from what I understand it will also need kernel 4.x to be able to use the vmhgfs-fuse support from OVT."}}
