Hi! so i'm trying to update my guest additions to version 7.0.6. on my mx linux 21.3 guest on windows 11 VBOX 7.0.6 host. But as soon i update the guest additions the shared folder i have stops working:

It went from :
drwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf 4.0K Jun 27 2022 sf_mx_linux_shared_folder

to:
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4.0K Jun 27 2022 sf_mx_linux_shared_folder

It also doesnt show on thunar file explorer either.

Changing the owner didn't help either.

Please provide a VM log file. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

if i enter the folder /media/sf_mx_linux_shared_folder and execute the mount command, it will work:

mount -t vboxsf mx_shared_folder .

So i added in fstab to run on start up:

mx_linux_shared_folder /media/sf_mx_linux_shared_folder vboxsf defaults 0 0

Seems to be working.
