Hi, maybe, I did something wrong. But if someone else gets the problem, here is a solution.
Host Ubuntu 64-bit Guest Ubuntu 64-bit Shared folders used to work between these two up to 4.3.8. After the upgrade to 4.3.10, they were no longer mountable on the guest. Note that I upgraded the Guest Additions with the first, revoked 4.3.10 package. When I noticed the missing mounts (after the new 4.3.10 had been installed on the host), I re-installed Guest Additions in the guest again, but it didn't fix it. The problem was this: /sbin/mount.vboxsf -> /usr/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions/mount.vboxsf mount.vboxsf is a symbolic link into the directory /usr/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions, but that directory didn't exist in my guest any more. In a former release, that directory must have been present. But now the Guest Additions are installed in /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.10 Creating a symbolic link made the shared folders mountable again: ln -s /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.10/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions /usr/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions But now I will likely have to re-create the symbolic link after every install of a new release of Guest Additions as they will go into a different directory. Would it be possible that some future install routine sets the link automatically, or fixes the problem differently?
