Hi David, Thanks a lot. But I tried sudo mount -t vboxsf research /home/zma/research
and got same result: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device Any ideas? Thanks, Use absolute paths for the mount directory. ________________________________ From: vbox-users-bounces at virtualbox.org <http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users> on behalf of Zhiliang Ma Sent: Mon 12-Mar-07 18:43 To: vbox-users at virtualbox.org<http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users> 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!
