[Solved] shared folders not automatically mounting after centos 7.3 to 7.4 upgrade?

[harishpathangay]

Hi,
I have VBOX 5.1.28 running in Windows 10.
I had CentOS 7.3. All working fine. Upgraded Cent OS 7.3 to 7.4
Re-installed Guest Additions inside Cent OS. Latest kernel header are also installed. the os user is also part of vboxsf group.
The problem is, every time I have to manually mount the shared folder file system using mount -t vboxsf etc...
why it is not automatically showing the sf_Downloads in nautilus file manager. it was showing earlier, now it is not showing.

thanks,
harish pathangay

any inputs?
I do not want to put entry in fstab.
my understanding is that vbox client background services should provide such features like shared folders,shared clip board etc.

hi,
it strated working. I re-installed the vbox guest additions for the second time.
I do not know why it did not work for the first time.
any case it is working and case closed.

thanks again,
