vboxsf: Old binary mount data not supported ...

Post by PeterE »

Hello,
I am using Arch Linux from time to time in a VirtualBox VM. After I didn’t use the VM for a long time I made an update. First I updated VirtualBox to 5.2.18. Then I updated Arch Linux via pacman –Syu. Now I have Kernel 4.18.3.
Every time I boot I get the following error message in front of the login prompt:
vboxsf: Old binary mount data not supported, remove obsolete mount.vboxsf and/or update your VBoxService.

My mount in .bashrc doesn’t work:
sudo mount -t vboxsf D_DRIVE /home/papa/d

I did a search and found the following link:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/58272
I also found this ticket #: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/17728#no1

Unfortunately I don’t understand how to fix the problem. I hope someone can help me with step by step instructions.
