virtualbox.org

host: WinXP
guest: Ubuntu 10.10
vbox: 3.2.6 r63112
svn: 1.6.6

I have a shared folder setup in /etc/fstab as follows:

workspace       /media/workspace        vboxsf  rw,auto,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000        0       0

when I mount "workspace", I can mkdir or touch a new file and the perms show as 777

However, Subversion seems to be doing something a bit different ...

Code: Select all

root@ubuntuvm:/media/workspace# svn co http://192.168.1.10/svn/com.blueapplerealty/parent-pom/trunk bar-parent-pom
svn: Can't move 'bar-parent-pom/.svn/tmp/entries' to 'bar-parent-pom/.svn/entries': Operation not permitted

and I note that the perms on bar-parent-pom/.svn/entries are 555

thread is similar to http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic. ... 8&start=15 , but I don't see a resolution other than not attempting to use svn on a shared folder

same problem after upgrading to vbox 3.2.12 r68302

as a workaround, I'm going to keep a non-shared dir on the Ubuntu guest, with a git+svn workspace, and synchronize that with a git only workspace in the shared folder.
