Hey guys, I've been mucking around with this, but it doesn't seem to be the "space" issue like yours..
I've got "My Documents" on XP mapped to E:\, a seperate physical drive. I try to mount that in ubuntu, and it gives the same as what you've said, no rw.
I think it might be a windows permissions thing, like how it locks your My Docs dir. Because E:\ doesn't have a space in it..
Just ideas, I still want to get this to work =\

There was an issue with personal folders that it either wasn't able to mount or write to it. Please try a sub folder of the My Documents folder, or a parent folder.

mout does not work in fs tab
Hi,
I can mount a vbox share with the mount command:
mount -t vboxsf vmshare /mnt/share
It works as expected, but when I try to mount it via fstab it does not work:
vmshare /mnt/share vboxsf rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
boot log says device not found. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Does that happen during boot time? If it does, try the mount command manually, using sudo mount -a, or sudo mount /mnt/share.

Yes, it happens during boot time.
Manual mount command after boot e.g. 'mount vmshare' works. Command 'umnount vmshare' also works.
I figured out that the problem during boot is, that fstab is processed before vbox additions are loaded! Is there a way to solve this?
btw: host: Win XP MCE, guest: Debian 2.6.18-6-486, Virtual Box: 1.6.2
problem solved
I solved the problem by using automount (autofs). Have a look for this issue at:
