No vboxsf group after installing virtualbox-ose-additions

[philippe972]

Hi,
i run a linux host (fedora 21) to a unix guest (freebsd 10) and try to use the sharing folder function.

So i can't because apparently, i dont' have vboxsf group in the guest.

Any ideas ?

The vboxsf group is only needed for automount. Can you manually mount the shared folder?

When i try to mount manually, i have this message :

mount: Musique: Operation not supported by device (Musique is name of shared folder)

[Perryg]

I think you will need to ask the FreeBSD folks about this one. Their guest additions may not support shared folders but if they do they are the only ones that could tell you what needs to be done.

Wait a minute, he didn't say he installed the FreeBSD-fork guest additions, unless I missed it, did he?

[Perryg]

Well I am speculating as the only way to install them in FreeBSD is to use portage, but if this is not correct and especially since they state OSE in the title please clarify it.

I install the vbox additions with the ports .
Ok i will ask on freebsd forums.
thanks.
