Changing permissions for the sf_ folders

I went ahead and installed 16.04 server to test this again and do not seem to have your issue. this is just after a reboot of the guest. See SS below

Post the results of the following.

Code: Select all

ls -al /etc/rc.local

Then I would like you to comment out the service restart ( place # at the front of the line ) and reboot

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 407 Sep 30 21:10 /etc/rc.local

Commenting out the service restart had no effect (except the internet not working).
There is just no reason for it to not work, but it doesn't...
I would like to try mounting through fstab to see if it works, but I have no idea what was wrong with my entry i mentioned in my earlier post, since it caused the emergency boot mode.

Very well but you need to force the vboxsf to load sooner by adding it to the /etc/modules. See below

It worked! It finally mounted! I can't believe it!

I have noticed something intereseting. When I remove the entry from the fstab and use the entry in the rc.local it works as well but only after i added vboxsf into /etc/modules
