Wrong size on mounted vboxsf

Post by Ra0 »

Hi,

when I mount one of my partition (hosting machine) into my VMs, the size is not the same...

This what I have inside the hosting OS (which OpenSuSE 11.2 x64) :

Code: Select all

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/truecrypt2
                       42G   21G   22G  49%
and this is what I have inside any Linux VM, once I have mounted this partition using VBox Guest Additions (with mount -t vboxsf -o rw,uid=1000 my_dir /path/to/my/dirname)

Code: Select all

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
my_dir
                       26G   23G   3.5G  87%
As you may have noticed, the native partition is encrypted with TrueCrypt. This might explain the results.

Anyhow, the VMs are complaining the disk is full when actually there are still several GB available...
Any idea on how to solve this ?

Thanks.
