Upgrade to 5.1.20 and shared folders stopped working

Post by PR »

Hi, I upgraded to virtualbox version 5.1.20 (as nvme requires 5.1.20) and shared folders stopped working. Please note that guest additions inside guest was upgraded fine and output shows so as well. I even tried with "vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest" but no change. I manually tried the mount command in the vm but got same error. I have also added the dmesg error below. Appreciate any pointers.

Thanks

========="vagrant up" output from host =============

default: SSH username: ubuntu
default: SSH auth method: password
==> default: Machine booted and ready!
[default] GuestAdditions 5.1.20 running --- OK.
==> default: Checking for guest additions in VM...
==> default: Mounting shared folders...
default: /vagrant => <host_folder_path>
Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually
because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is
made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module.
Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the
guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty
Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:

mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 vagrant /vagrant

The error output from the command was:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on vagrant,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.

Please see if the solution in https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16670 could help you.

Moving to "Linux Guests" from "OSX hosts".
