Virtual Machine shared folder settings

(Paste the old notes for future reference)

Virtualbox shared folder settings

1. Install the enhancement package (guest additions)
After Ubuntu is installed, run Ubuntu and log on. Select "devices"-> "Install guest additions" from the virtualbox menu )".
You will find an extra disc icon on the Ubuntu Desktop, which is automatically loaded to the folder/Media/cdom0 by default. Go to the command line terminal and enter:
CD/Media/cdom0
Sudo./vboxlinuxadditions. Run
Start to install the toolkit. After the installation is complete, you will be prompted to restart ubuntu.
2. Set Shared Folders
After the restart, click "devices"-> shared folder (shared folders) to add a shared folder. The fixed and temporary options refer to whether the folder is persistent. Share names can be any one you like, such as "shared". Try to use an English name.
3. Mount Shared Folders
Re-enter the virtual Ubuntu and enter the following in the command line terminal:
Sudo mkdir/Media/shared
Sudo Mount-T vboxsf shared/Media/shared
"Shared" is the name of the previously created shared folder. OK. Now Ubuntu and the host can upload files to each other.
If you do not want to manually mount each time, you can add
Shared/media/shared vboxsf rw, gid = 100, uid = 1000, auto 0 0
This enables automatic mounting.
4. Run the following command to uninstall the SDK:
Sudo umount-f/mnt/shared

Note:
The name of the shared folder must not be the same as that of the mount point. For example, the mount point above is/mnt/shared, if the name of the shared folder is also shared, the following error message will appear when mounting (see http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/2265 ):
/Sbin/mount. vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error

For the cause analysis, refer to the Shared Folder on a Linux Guest section of Tips on running Sun Virtualbox.
