Get list of shared folders from guest

Post by vlachoudis »

Dear all,

how can I get the list of the available shared folders from inside a Linux guest system?
I would like to create a script to automatically mount the shared folders.

Currently not possible. It might come at some future release. Check if there is already a feature request for it, and if none exist, create one.

That is unnecessary. You already have a script that starts at bootup. Just add the info for the shared folders to it. I don't know about your Linux distribution (look here: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15868), but in Slackware it is /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Either in suggestions (easiest), or through the Bugtracker (separate account needed). Please search first if one already exists.
