Dear all member!
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 on a VM using VirtualBox 5.0. As I often have to do development for work in both windows and linux, I have a shared development directory. The issue is that even with auto mount selected for the VM in the virtualbox manager, it is not automatically mounted upon startup.
I can mount it perfectly fine once I log in with the following command:
sudo mount -t vboxsf src /home/patrick/src
This is simple enough to do but seems pointless to me. Any ideas on how to get this to auto mount on startup/login?
Thank's!
