Exporting a shared folder with NFS
Posted: 29. Oct 2012, 16:20
Hi there,
I'm using VirtualBox 4.0.2 r80737 on a WIndows 7 64bit host and a RedHat 6.3 64bit guest.
When trying to export with NFS a folder shared from the Windows host, I get the following error:
and in /var/log/messages:
It seems that the vboxsf filesystem type does not work well with NFS. I have been able to dig out an old ticket regarding the exact same issue with VirtualBox 3 but it didn't receive much attention ay the time it seems.
Is it a known problem, is there a way around it?
Thanks for your help,
Chris
