Hello,
does someone know a way how to automount the shared folders on linux guest startup with writepermissions for my useraccount?
I'm too lazy every bootup mount it manually...
thx a lot

I got automounting working in Ubuntu 7.04, well sort of.
Edit /etc/auto.master, add your mount point, eg
Code: Select all
/mnt/vboxsf /etc/auto.vboxsf --ghost
Create a file called /etc/auto.vboxsf and add share folder entries, eg
Code: Select all
#foldername mount options host share name
hostshare -fstype=vboxsf,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 :share
Start /etc/init.d/autofs and you should now have share folders appear in /mnt/vboxsf
I still have one weird problem though, I can't change file permissions at all. Reading and writing as a user works fine.

Thanks, this worked fine!
I just had to apt-get install autofs (in Ubuntu 8.04)
