Mount with Virtual Box "automatic mounting": Some systems may need option comment=tomount in their fstab entry ( source). It may then help to append the vboxsf kernel module to /etc/modules. On some systems the vboxsf kernel module is not yet loaded at the time fstab is read on boot. One possibility is to mount with defaults, or to give specific mount options (e.g. Replace name_of_share and /path/to/mountpoint with your individual setup (the directory for the mountpoint has to be created first). Then we may put the following line in our etc/fstab file: /path/to/mountpoint vboxsf 0 0 To mount a shared folder using the vboxsf filesystem provided with Guest Additions we first need to make sure prerequisites are met. It is up to personal preference which option works best in our setting. To always mount a Virtual Box "shared folder" on booting an Ubuntu guest we have two options. After a reboot though the files are gone again. I don't know what I'm doing differently each time, but sometimes after I edit fstab, issue mount -a without rebooting I can see the files there. When I issue mount -a AFTER I have edited the fstab I can sometimes get it to work.
None of them reproduce the correct content in / srv.
I read there is an issue with filesystems being mounted before virtualbox utilities are loaded, so I added vboxsf to my /etc/modules and then repeated the steps above. I've edited /etc/fstab to look like this: share /srv vboxsf defaults 0 0Īfter doing this I used the command mount -a, also I rebooted, and I rebooted again with the virtualbox shared folder settings to NOT auto-mount. I want to move the mount point from /media/sf_share to simply /srv so that on my windows host I can edit files and they show up under /srv. Virtualbox mounts the shared folder in /media/sf_share (the name I gave to the shared folder in the virtualbox settings was share). I have a test.txt file that I created in Windows and it shows up appropriately in my Ubuntu VM. I have a shared folder set up between virtualbox and my windows 7 host machine.
