How do I properly setup permissions on a shared folder?
Posted: 27. Jul 2007, 15:18
On the guest side, I'm getting a "Write error in swap file" when I try to do a simple vi edit of a file in my shared folder and am unable to save the edits.
I'm using vbox beta 2 hosted on a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.4.10, my guest operating system is Ubuntu 7.0.4
I have set up the shared folder with this /etc/fstab entry:
An ls -l of the share point shows I own everything:
If I do a vi foo.txt in there, I get the swap file warning and a warning about vi not able to create a backup file. The resulting file has these permissions on it:
What am I missing, or, are there known issues with Mac beta 2?
Thank you,
