Shared Folders don't work after update of GA to v4.3.10

Post by automatix1311 »

Hello!

I've just updated the Guest Additions for my Debian 7.1 Wheezy virtual machine to v4.3.10. Now the shared folders are not working. Normally I mount them with commandos in the /etc/rc.local:

Code: Select all

mount -t vboxsf -o uid=0,gid=0 workspace /var/www
mount -t vboxsf -o uid=0,gid=0,umask=077 sshkeys /root/.ssh
mount -t vboxsf -o uid=0,gid=0 vmsf /vmsf
But since the update it doesn't work anymore.

Furthermore, when I try it manually, I get errors (different errors for different folders):

Code: Select all

root@devvm:~# mount -t vboxsf -o uid=0,gid=0 workspace /var/www
mount: Protocol error
root@devvm:~# mount -t vboxsf -o uid=0,gid=0 vmsf /vmsf
mount: Protocol error

Code: Select all

root@devvm:~# mount -t vboxsf -o uid=0,gid=0,umask=077 sshkeys /root/.ssh
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on sshkeys,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so
Whatis wrong with the VM and how to repair it?

Thx

See if the workarounds in ticket #12879 help at all...
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

After installing the fix (VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.11-93070) everything works again. Thank you very much!
