I am using virtualbox 5.2.20 on Windwos 7. I have debian 9 guest machine with shared folder setup to auto mount. It worked fine but for some reason it stopped mounting on boot. If i try to mount it with command: 'mount -t vboxsf Shared /media/sf_Shared' i get error '/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device'. The VboxGuestAdditions.iso even it is inserted it is not mounted also.
I guess the problem might be with my guest machine, debian 9, but can't find what it is.

Re: Shared folder won't mount
Nevermind, i fixed it. I had to run the command 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' to install linux headers, then mount the guest addition iso, because even it was inserted it wasn't mounted 'sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0/. And after that installing the new guest additions.
