Hi,

VirtualBox 4.06
Host: Win 7 64 bit
Guest: Ubuntu 11.04

I tried the new 'auto-mount' feature for the shared folders. Afterwards I wanted to revert to the
fstab method. I unchecked the 'auto-mount' checkbox. But VirtualBox insisted on auto-mounting
the shared file. It was now twice mounted, once per 'auto-mount' and once per fstab.

How do I remove the 'auto-mount' feature? I removed the shared folder, but to no avail.

Regards, Hans

Disable auto-mount, then your local fstab entry (it should be rc.local actually, as modules aren't loaded during mount time so it can fail) is the only one doing the actual mounting. The sf_name folder might still exist, but it should be empty. You can remove it safely after that. If it's recreated after a reboot, then just leave it.
