Use absolute paths for the mount directory.

Subject: [vbox-users] sharedfolder problem


Hi All VirtualBox users,
 
I recently successfully create my first VM using virtualbox, everything works 
just fine, except sharedfolder. Here is my situation:
 
Host: Windows XP Home
Guest: Ubuntu 7.10
 
To share folders between host and guest, 
 
(1) In host (XP), 
 
C:\Program Files\InnoTek VirtualBox>vboxmanage sharedfolder add "ubuntu" -name 
" research" -hostpath "d:\research"
 
then, 
 
C:\Program Files\InnoTek VirtualBox>vboxmanage list vms
 
in the results, there is a line says:
 
Shared folders: Name: 'research', Host path: 'd:\research' (machine mapping)
 
(2) In Guest (Ubuntu), 
 
sudo mkdir research
sudo mount -t vboxsf research ~/research
 
Then it returns:
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such file or directory

However, I went to /sbin/ and "mount.vboxsf" is there. 
 
Now, I don't know what to do next to make sharedfolder work, please help!!!
 
Thanks a lot!
