Vboxfs : protocol error at mounting

Post by sksbir »

Hi
Using Fedora 34 virtual machine on Asustor NAS.
after last update, vboxfs not working anymore, getting "protocol error" ( current guestaddition is : VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.27-147346.iso )

After
- downloading latest guestaddition testbuid from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds ( currently ; VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.33-149396.iso)
- mounting it on /cdrom
- using
KERN_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`
./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run


compilation says this at end :"VirtualBox Guest Additions: Running kernel modules will not be replaced until
the system is restarted"

==> "shutdown -r" is not enough: after shutdown -r, I still get "protocol error" while trying to mount my vboxfs mounts, I must shutdown,to get power off state, then startup the virtual machine.

This is not the firt time I have noticed that. It should be better to write "system must be powered off and restarted" at end of compilation.
