Bug: Shared Folder: Cannot clear Read-Only Attribute
Posted: 15. Nov 2008, 16:33
VirtualBox 1.5.6_OSE
Host: Ubuntu Heron
Guest: Vista SP1
Guest Addns installed
In Ubuntu host I've created /my/share/ and done chmod a+rwx /my/share
In VirtualBox settings, I've set this to my shared folder & ensured 'Read Only' attribute is unset.
In Vista SP1 client, I have mapped this to my Y: drive
I point Windows Explorer to Y:, right click, Create New Folder
(Minor)Problem: It's invisible. Needs a rightclick+refresh to see it.
Major Problem: Right click on it, Properties: its 'Read Only' attribute is set. I clear it, Apply, ok. Now I bring up the properties again. It has reverted!!!
Total mystery. I can write files into this folder. I can create an empty doc, type into it, save it.
This problem is affecting me because I need to set Visual Studio to build into the shared folder: Y:\ReleaseBuild\ and Visual Studio is not allowing it, presumably as it sees it as readonly.
Please someone fix!!!
