automount vboxfs

Post by maierkomor »

I have just tried getting autofs/automount to work with vboxfs. After some truss and dtrace, I figured out that autmount tries to execute the following:
/usr/lib/fs/vboxfs/mount -O -q -- <share> <mountdir>

Unfortunately, this executable does not exist. Linking /usr/lib/fs/vboxfs to /etc/fs/vboxfs doesn't solve the problem as vboxfs/mount doesn't accept mount's standard options -O and -q. Are there any plans to include support for these options, so that one could mount shares conveniently with a automount map?

That would be great!

Cheers,
Thomas
P.S.: thank you for VirtualBox!
