Does anyone has any idea of what's going on here?Īlso must mention that on the same VirtualBox I have another VM installed (Ubuntu 18.04) on which the auto-mounting is working as a charm. However I couldn't find any relevant information of how to solve it. Maybe the last error that I got in terminal is a hint for the root of the problem. sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Invalid argument Sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=$USER,gid=vboxsf shared /home/myuser/shared The share does not work, cannot see the files under the shared folder from the host machine. However the same behavior as for Auto-mounting happens. In Settings -> Shared Folders dialog I unchecked Auto-mount checkbox and added a valid value in Mount point (eg. I left Mount point empty.Īfter the above setup I boot the Ubuntu 20 VM and I was expecting to see the mount under /media/sf_shared and I did see it however it was empty even though on the host machine there are several files. I created an entry under VirtualBox Ubuntu 20.04 VM Settings -> Shared Folders and completed the Folder Path to a valid Windows(host) location, the Folder Name (called shared) and checked Auto-mount and Make Permanent. You can install these required tools with the following command.I followed (among other related threads) in order to mount a shared folder in my Ubuntu 20.04 VM. Add the User Account to the VBOXSF User Groupīefore proceeding with the following steps, make sure that you have the VirtualBox Guest Additions installed on your Manjaro or Arch Linux virtual machine. With your favorite editor (nano in my case), create the file sudo nano /etc/apt//virtualbox.list 02.Create a Folder on Your Manjaro/Arch Linux VM.It’s not difficult, just a slight bit different and I will show you here how to share a windows folder with your Manjaro or Arch based Linux VM in VirtualBox. One of those tasks is sharing a folder from my Windows PC through VirtualBox to my Manjaro Linux virtual machine. Completing tasks in Manjaro can be a bit different than in Ubuntu and other Debian Linux variants. There are many Linux distributions out there and many choose Ubuntu or some variant of it, I’ve chosen Manjaro which is an Arch based Linux. I like many others, use a Linux virtual machine in VirtualBox from my Windows PC to do development work.
