| #17360 | fixed | Cannot mount loop device from within shared folder on 5.2.x -> fixed in 6.0.6 | ||
| Description |
Host: Windows 10 Enterprise v1709 AMD64 Guest: Xubuntu 17.10 AMD64 On 5.2.2 r119230 and 5.2.3 r119552, attempting to mount an EXT4 partition image on the Linux guest stored in a shared folder on the Windows host fails with "mount: can't read superblock on /dev/loop0". 5.1.30 did not have this issue as far as I can remember. With a new and up-to-date Xubuntu VM and Guest Additions installed: $ cd /media/sf_SharedFolder $ dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=4k count=60000 $ sudo mkfs.ext4 test.img $ mkdir testout $ sudo mount -o loop test.img testout/ "mount: /media/sf_SharedFolder/testout: can't read superblock on /dev/loop0" Doing the same thing on a folder inside the VM storage (like ~) correctly mounts the EXT4 image. The shared folder can be read from and written from within the VM as long as there's no loop mounting. |

| #3606 | worksforme | Cannot mount shared folders | ||
| Description |
This would appears to be a simple documentation fix (either the explanation needs fleshed out for new users, or the command simply needs changed). The documentation states: In a Linux guest, use the following command: mount -t vboxsf [-o OPTIONS] sharename mountpoint This does not work, you will get the following error Only root can mount shared folders from the host. Users need to be informed that they must be root (or have relevant admin rights) to do a mount. This simply means using "sudo" or "su" depending on your distro. When this is fixed, the command will still fail, but with a new error: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error To fix this, it seems you need to run a different command. mount.vboxsf [-o OPTIONS] sharename mountpoint This works. I am not very familiar with Linux, so I am afraid I do not have the required knowledge to fully detail why this different command works, or how it may need to be issued on a different distribution (I used Ubuntu 8.10). |
