Hello,
On a MacOS host, Gentoo Linux guest, I'm having trouble with file mode
settings on a shared folder when writing/touching from the guest.
The shared folder is a Machine Folder (persistent) with configured with
read/write access. I mount it on the guest using something like the
following command:
mount -t vboxsf -o uid=ken,gid=ken,umask=022 folder /mnt/point
I can read files from the mounted directory from the guest with no
problem, but when I write to the directory my files are always of mode
-rw-------. I can't chmod the file either. If I create a directory on
the mounted directory, the permissions of the directory are created as
drwxr-xr-x , but any files written to the newly created directory are
mode -rw-------.
I tried this on a Transient Folder also, and I get the same results.
What am I doing wrong? (I assume I don't need to sync the uid/gid of
the MacOS context with the uid/gid of the Linux context (?) -- If that
is the case then how do multiple users share a folder?)
Thanks for any help.
