I'm running newly installed Arch/Xfce on VMware atop windows 10 VMware 14 player. Everything seems just wonderful except removable devices are not working.
When I "connect" a USB flash drive (from the VMware player tool bar), dmesg then shows:
[ 524.557365] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-pci

[root@arch2018 family]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
root@arch2018 family]# lsblk # with both the USB flash drive connected and the physical DVD

These were the solutions:
install gvfs.
install pcmanfs (and forget using thunar which is troublesome for many fixing the won't detect new media problem).
put the flash drive in a USB2 slot (fixing the problems seen by dmesg). Maybe USB3 can be made to work by configuring the VM.
to use exfat drives, then install exfat-utils.
