I have windows xp in computer and linux ubuntu in virtualbox. I inserted pendrive - I see it in windows xp and I don't see it in linuxubuntu in virtualbox - why ?

The reason ist that you have not read the User Manual and the FAQ.

Or use the search function with the topic "USBFS".

This is discussed several times.

Edit: "USBFS" is for Linux Hosts". Sorry.

ok, I made it, it works ;]

Could you tell me something about accessible folder - can I throw files to accessible folder and then see it in virtualbox ? or what ?

Yes. And again. Read User Manual. Topic this Time is "Guest Additions" and "Shared Folder".

hm....... I can't solve my problem.
In my computer:
server - windows xp
guest (on virtualbox) - ubuntu

I created in Sun xVM VirtualBox shared folder - C:\Temp:

and in virtualbox in ubuntu I don't see nowhere this folder.

Please post exact approach. Input and output word by word, exact error messages.

Without doing the right there is not anything to see.

What ? I am from Poland, do you want to see my view of ubuntu in virtualbox ?

I don't know what I should do in ubuntu, I want to see this folder but I don't know what I should do.

You should read the User Manual like i say.

There is declared step by step installing the guest additions and how to mount a shared folder.

Read this and come back, if you have problems. And then with exact infos.

I am writing manual, page 62, so I should write in ubuntu:
mount -t vboxsf [-o OPTIONS] c:\Temp mountpoint ??

It doesn't work

Code: Select all

sudo mount -t vboxsf [-o OPTIONS] c:\Temp /mnt/share

Usage: mount -V                 : print version
       mount -h                 : print this help
       mount                    : list mounted filesystems
       mount -l                 : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
       mount -a [-t|-O] ...     : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
       mount device             : mount device at the known place
       mount directory          : mount known device here
       mount -t type dev dir    : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
       mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
       mount --move olddir newdir
One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir:
       mount --make-shared dir
       mount --make-slave dir
       mount --make-private dir
       mount --make-unbindable dir
One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree
containing the directory dir:
       mount --make-rshared dir
       mount --make-rslave dir
       mount --make-rprivate dir
       mount --make-runbindable dir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using  -L label  or by uuid, using  -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say  man 8 mount .
michal@michal-desktop:~$ sudo mount -t vboxsf [-o OPTIONS] c:\Temp /mnt/share

Guest Additions installed?

Again: please post the exact approach.

yes, I installed it. What should I post ?

Yours instruction is crazy, I found better on a polish forum. I had to write in console:

sudo mount -t vboxsf Temp /home/michal/dzielenie

PS. michal - user; dzielenie - I created this folder; Temp - name of shared folder in windows

THIS IS SO FUN HAHAHAH - THIS FUNCTION IS GREAT XD
