In recent releases of Virtual Box we can also automatically mount shared folders on creation:Īfter a reboot of the guest this shared folder will be mounted to the guest directory /media//sf_ accessible to all users who had been made member of the group vboxsf.įor newer systemd based systems you need alternative approaches - the simplest being one mentioned in another answer to another question - which basically says that you need to add a special comment option to the /etc/fstab entry: src /my_mount/src_host vboxsf auto,rw,comment=tomount 0 0 Mount with Virtual Box "automatic mounting": Some systems may need option comment=tomount in their fstab entry ( source). It may then help to append the vboxsf kernel module to /etc/modules. On some systems the vboxsf kernel module is not yet loaded at the time fstab is read on boot. One possibility is to mount with defaults, or to give specific mount options (e.g.
Replace name_of_share and /path/to/mountpoint with your individual setup (the directory for the mountpoint has to be created first). Then we may put the following line in our etc/fstab file: /path/to/mountpoint vboxsf 0 0 To mount a shared folder using the vboxsf filesystem provided with Guest Additions we first need to make sure prerequisites are met. It is up to personal preference which option works best in our setting. To always mount a Virtual Box "shared folder" on booting an Ubuntu guest we have two options.
