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

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...

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