Automount is not working
I created a shared folder and set it to automount. For some reason my guest OS (Solaris 10) will not automount the shared folder. Why? How can I mount the shared folder during boot up. I set the mount in the /etc/vfstab and vboxsf is not an operatible file system. What can be done to mount the shared folder?

Re: Automount is not working
You need your logon name in the vboxsf group on the guest, but even at that the auto mount does not work properly in solaris/opensolaris.
Even when it mounts the files do not show up. This has been reported and I believe it might be fixed in the next maintenance release.

Re: Automount is not working
Thanks. I guess I'll wait until the next release. Does anyone know when the next maintenance release is?
