I am running VBOX 1.3.8 on a XP host, and a Ubuntu guest VM using host interface. All working so far.
I am able to access a folder on a FAT32 partition from ubuntu guest, and all directories seem to have default mode 777 while regular files are 666.
With this config, I can't execute shell scripts from ubuntu in this shared folder!
How can I change the mount option to make all files mode 777?
Many thanks.
XP Host, Ubuntu Guest, howto set shared folder mode to 777?

I was looking for the same information and came across this post...
However, the suggestion does not work.
mount -t vboxsf -o umask=000 FBOS /media/fbos
tells me that umask is an invalid option and gives me a list of other options to try, none of which would alleviate the permissions problems.
I'm developing a program that requires certain Linux-only tools to work properly, and since I primarily use Windows, this is the best way for me to work on the project. I need the files to be available for both reading and writing to all users on the virtual machine.
