zsh: killed [cmd] on files from shared folder

[tekion]

Hello,
I noticed today that files that are shared via VirtualBox cannot be accessed via file, tail, or another command. The only command I know that works is 'ls'
For example:
# file Flakpak.md
zsh: killed file Flakpak.md

I ruled out the permission issue, by running the above as root.
file permission: -rwxrwx--- 1 root vboxsf

Virtualbox Version:
Version 7.0.10 r158379 (Qt5.15.2)

Has anyone heard or know of this issue?

It seems I have the same problem, but worse, sudo cat file.txt still gives Killed answer

Same issue here. Trying to cope and paste a file from/to a mounted share drive from the Host OS, but all I get is "zsh: killed cp <from_path> <to_path>".

Edit: Using the GUI (Thunar FM) it works fine...

Edit 2 [SOLVED]:

Code: Select all

sudo apt reinstall git

fixed it for me. I have no idea why and I don't have the energy to try and figure it out. Hope this helps.

You all may want to post a Bugtracker ticket about this. Could be a Virtualbox bug. The first to do so, please post a link to the ticket here, and the others can contribute. Please post a zipped VM log where the "kill" happens with your ticket reports.

FWIW, I don't have the problem when I install and use zsh in one of my Linux guests.

What happens if you switch to the standard Bourne shell ("sh") first?
