16404	vboxsf does not get autoloaded when a mount happens (fs-vboxsf alias missing)	hyperair		"When the vboxsf kernel module is not loaded, mounting a shared folder (e.g. mount -t vboxsf foo /media/foo` fails with ENODEV.

The reason for this is that vboxsf lacks the fs-vboxsf alias, which is what the kernel uses to autoload filesystem modules during mount. This can be fixed by adding the following to vboxsf/vfsmod.c:

MODULE_ALIAS_FS(""vboxsf"");

Alternatively, it can be worked around by adding ""alias fs-vboxsf vboxsf"" to a file in /etc/modprobe.d.

Please see the attached MIT-licensed patch for a proposed fix."	defect	closed	other	VirtualBox 5.0.14	fixed	vboxsf shared folders		Linux	all
