#1970 wontfix [feature-request] Shared Folders should use ISO9660 filesystem instead of vboxfs Technologov
Description

Hi All !

Current model of dealing with shared folders have few big drawbacks.

  1. Guest Additions must be installed
  1. Mount of shared folders in guest is not automatic

It is possible to kill both hares in one shot.

The "Shared Folder" must appear in guest as DVD-ROM (ISO9660) filesystem, instead of current vboxfs.

Since ISO9660 is supported by all kernels of all OSes, this will be a killer technology.

Of course there are drawbacks:

  1. limits on file sizes
  2. Read-only mode

But it will help people a _lot_.

This means that VirtualBox should take files on host OS, and convert them on-the-fly into ISO9660 filesystem to be viewed by guest.

Alternatively, SMB Server can do similar function (if embedded into VirtualBox), but DVD-ROM is easier to use.

#106 fixed [feature-request] Seial Port (COM) Access Technologov
Description

Please implement a serial COM port access (if not difficult), for several reasons:

  1. Some people use it instead of USB to connect to some devices.
  1. I use it occasionally for software testing
  1. It's already implemented by competitors; Both VMware and VirtualPC.

#7185 duplicate [feature-request] Reverse Shared Folders Technologov
Description

It would be great to be able to mount running Guest's folders into Host's directory tree. Effectively making "reverse shared folders".


(by "yast")

There could be one useful thing to include which in fact wouldn't be to hard to implement. It should be possible that you can open any file on guest side using host process.

Use case:

User has Windows guest.

We wants to open one mp3 file using vlc player on linux.

To do so:

User right clicks on file

Clicks "Open file with host process"

Writes/selects "vlc".

Vlc is started and playing music on host side

Work flow when user wants to open a file with host:

Guest file is copied to temporary shared folder by guest additions

According process is called on host side to open a file

When process is closed, file might be copied back to guest side (to support writing)


The use case is described here: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=32912&p=147102#p147102
