After a reboot though the files are gone again. I don't know what I'm doing differently each time, but sometimes after I edit fstab, issue mount -a without rebooting I can see the files there. The process of creating a shared folder on VMware is straightforward: Within VMware Workstation, choose your virtual machine and click on Player > Manage > Virtual Machine Settings Click on Options > Shared Folders. When I issue mount -a AFTER I have edited the fstab I can sometimes get it to work. None of them reproduce the correct content in / srv. I read there is an issue with filesystems being mounted before virtualbox utilities are loaded, so I added vboxsf to my /etc/modules and then repeated the steps above. I've edited /etc/fstab to look like this: share /srv vboxsf defaults 0 0Īfter doing this I used the command mount -a, also I rebooted, and I rebooted again with the virtualbox shared folder settings to NOT auto-mount. I want to move the mount point from /media/sf_share to simply /srv so that on my windows host I can edit files and they show up under /srv. Virtualbox mounts the shared folder in /media/sf_share (the name I gave to the shared folder in the virtualbox settings was share). I have a test.txt file that I created in Windows and it shows up appropriately in my Ubuntu VM. Enter the command /sbin/mount.vmhgfs -h to list the options.įor Linux kernel version 4.0 or later, enter the command /usr/bin/vmhgfs-fuse -h to list the available options.I have a shared folder set up between virtualbox and my windows 7 host machine. Mounts the subdirectory bar within the share foo to /var/lib/barįor Linux kernel prior to version 4.0, you can use VMware-specific options in addition to the standard mount syntax. host:/foo/bar /var/lib/bar -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other host:/foo /tmp/foo -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other STEP 4: VirtualBox will open a window Shared Folders. STEP 3: Click on Devices tab which is located on the top of VM VirtualBox taskbar and select Shared Folders from the drop-down list. STEP 2: Start Linux box which you have installed in VM. host:/ /home/user1/shares -o subtype=vmhgfs-fuse,allow_other STEP 1: Run host OS and launch VM VirtualBox. Mount Command Syntax Linux Kernel Prior to 4.0 The commands also vary depending on the Linux-kernel version of the guest. You can use different mount commands to mount all shares, one share, or a subdirectory within a share to any location in the file system. Linux kernels 4.0 and later use a FUSE file system component. In Linux kernels prior to version 4.0, the VMware Tools services script loads a driver that performs the mount. After you enable a shared folder, you can mount one or more directories or subdirectories in the shared folder to any location in the file system in addition to the default location of /mnt/hgfs.ĭepending on the kernel version of the Linux guest operating system, VMware Tools uses different components to provide shared-folder functionality.
