I have patched the Archlinux Virtualbox 5.2.32 in AUR for Linux 5.3, however when updating the Archlinux Guest to Linux 5.3 shared folders are no longer available and the vboxsf module is not found. Is something else required when the guest is running Linux 5.3? I ask because I have Win7 guests, openSUSE 15.0 and 15.1 guests and they all have no issue accessing the shared folder on the host. It is only the Archlinux guest that cant use the shared folders. All guests are access --headless over the LAN. Checking the guest modules, the only ones loaded are vboxvideo (X works fine, but the share clipboard isn't) and vboxgues, e.g. 6:37 vl1:~> lsmod | grep vbox vboxvideo 40960 2 drm_vram_helper 20480 1 vboxvideo drm_kms_helper 212992 1 vboxvideo drm 516096 6 drm_kms_helper,drm_vram_helper,vboxvideo,ttm vboxguest 45056 5 With the 5.2 kernel, there were no problems with the shared folders on the guest. mount -t vboxsf fails as well. However, the permanent mount point is still there: 16:46 vl1:~> l /media/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 27 14:09 . drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 May 28 16:30 .. drwxrwx--- 2 root vboxsf 4096 May 27 14:09 sf_davidvl but it is empty. The Archlinux 5.3 host shows the shared folder active: $ VBoxManage showvminfo arch_1_64 <snip> Shared folders: Name: 'davidvl', Host path: '/home/david' (machine mapping), writable The host modules running are: lsmod | grep vbox vboxnetflt 32768 0 vboxnetadp 28672 0 vboxpci 28672 0 vboxdrv 487424 4 vboxpci,vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt What else (and where else) would I check to see why the vboxsf isn't working on the Linux-5.3 guest? -- David C.
