hi,
I am running an application with vboxwrapper. As we know, the wrapper uses the directory "shared" under slot directory to share data between host and guest machine. When the share data is inputs or outputs of the application, everthing should work fine, but if I try to share the data that BOINC client generate, like init_data.xml in slot directory( Actually, my application would like to read this file), it seems there is no way to make it (If you have, please tell me). Also, old versions of BOINC client (it should be before BOINC 7.0, I am not so sure about it) don't support to create a directory in slot direcotry base on logical file name. In other words, old BOINC clients don't support the logical file name like "shared/input1". So, vboxwapper will fail while running with old BOINC client. In summary , to use the "shared" directory under slot directory as the shared directory, it introduces no benifit to the real application except that the slot directory look tidy, only some inconvenience and compatibility problems. So I suggest to directory use the slot as the shared directory, but not the directory under the slot directory. How do you guys think? Cheers, Jie
