Having mounted a shared folder
CSP on /media/sf_CSP type vboxsf (gid=492, rw)
I can't create/write to the shared folder..
[jani@linux sf_CSP]$ touch one
touch: cannot touch `one': Read-only file system
[jani@linux sf_CSP]$ sudo touch one
touch: cannot touch `one': Read-only file system
[root@jani-linux ~]# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),492(vboxsf),500(ovdcusers)
[root@jani-linux ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago)
mac : EL Capitan 10.11.6 (15G31)
virtualbox - 5.1
MBP:admin mac$ /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxManage -v

Re: Access shared folder
Did you use the automount feature of VirtualBox, or did you create a script in your guest? Was this thing working? You're the second person reporting some sort of problem with shared folders on a Mac today. Please post a ZIPPED VBox.log:
- Start the VM. Not from a saved or suspended state. Clean start.
- Take the steps required to generate/observe the error.
- Shut down the VM. Not suspended, not paused. Complete shut down.
- Right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager. Select "Show Log..."
- Save it (just the first log), ZIP it and attach it in your response (see the "Upload attachment" at the bottom of the form).
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Re: Access shared folder
Sorry to have wasted your time. I had mounted in the read-only mode..Analysed the logs and remounted it.
00:00:01.172233 Host path '/Volumes/32Lex/CSP', map name 'CSP', read-only, automount=true, create_symlinks=false, missing=false

Re: [NotAnIssue] Access shared folder
That's why I wanted to take a look at the logs. Glad you found it. Noted in the title as [NotAnIssue].

Re: [NotAnIssue] Access shared folder
Same "issue".
Stop guest, restart it and the shared folder is mounted automatically
Thank you too for the tutorial about the log.
