How to resolve HGFS is disabled in the host

Have you ever got error "can't mount hgfs, HGFS is disabled in the host" in vmware??. If so this post will discuss about How to resolve it.
As we know, this error eventually occured on boot, when restarting linux operating system guest. HGFS mounts allow the VM guest to connect to a share hosted on the ESX server/host.
It is installed when the VMware Tools service is installed. Actually this is not endanger our guest operating system and can be resolved as below :
  1. edit /etc/fstab
    # vim /etc/fstab
  2. Comment the line that starts with .hosts as below :

  3. restart server
