Shared folders not mounted in Ubuntu guest from Win 7 Host
Posted: 26. Dec 2013, 09:03
Hello people,
I'm running an Ubuntu guest on VirtualBox (version 4.2.20) on a Windows 7 host. I'm not able to mount shared folders on my guest. I tried automount as well as manually mounting.
I'm on kernel version 3.2.0-57-generic-pae.
No error is reported by the mount command, but the command exits with error code 2.
Running dmesg shows the below log; I've only copied the top few lines, the entire log is available in the attachment
I've also attached the result of an strace on the mount command.
The Guest shows the shared folders when I list them, but mount fails.
Has anyone faced such a problem? Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
