| #14746 | fixed | vboxsf Linux guest - File Cache -> Fixed in SVN / 6.0.6 | ||
| Description |
I'm using a Linux guest using a basic Arch Linux install (default kernel, very few packages) I have a problem with file caching in shared folders. Steps to reproduce:
1) GUEST: mount a shared directory:
2) GUEST: 3) HOST: Write new.file into the shared folder:
4) GUEST:
5) GUEST: 6) HOST: Write non-existing.file to the shared directory
7) GUEST:
When typing If the file is written on the host BEFORE trying to access it on the guest it works as expected. If the guest tries to read the file prior to it's existence, the fact it doesn't exist is cached and the guest cannot see the file after it's been created. This is the same for both windows and linux hosts with this guest.
Running As far as I can tell it's an issue with the file cache. I've tried recompiling the guest's kernel with various options for CONFIG_FSCACHE (arch defaults to =m and the module is not loaded on the guest) Is there a fix for this? 4) GUEST: cat new.file |

| #14456 | worksforme | vboxsf 5.0.2 fails to load in OpenSuse 13.2 | ||
| Description |
I'm running OpenSuse 13.2 3.16.7-24-desktop and can no longer access shared folders with the new (5.x) version of the Linux guest additions in OpenSuse. The reason is that modprobe vboxsf fails due to the undefined symbols RTLogRelGetDefaultInstance(Ex). A workaround is to remove these two definitions from vboxsf/include/log.h and to redefine the two macros in mangling.h to evaluate to (NULL). After recompiling the and loading the module the shared folders work again. |

| #20092 | duplicate | vboxsf (Guest Additions 6.1.16) fails to compile on CentOS 8 Stream (kernel 4.18.0-257) | ||
| Description |
Hi. This issue is similar to https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19112. vboxsf.ko can not be compiled due to error "MS_REMOUNT undeclared". I fixed it by removing the lines and in /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-6.1.16/src/vboxsf/vfsmod.c and then running 'make' and 'make install' (in src folder). Screenshot with the error will be attached. |
