i am using Virtual Box to run Xubutu and I have a shared folder setup that works, but the problem is that i have to enter it into the terminal every time i start up the machine.

this is the code:
CODE
mount -t vboxsf shared /home/ian/Desktop/Shared

You can add this line into the /etc/fstab file:

CODE
shared /home/ian/Desktop/Shared vboxsf users,defaults,umask=000 0 0


To do so, follow these steps.
  1. Press Alt+F2 (Or whatever key combo to launch the run application window)
  2. Enter "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" (without the quotes). Then hit enter.
  3. Enter you password when prompted.
  4. Simple copy and paste
    CODE
    shared /home/ian/Desktop/Shared vboxsf users,defaults,umask=000 0 0
    into the next available line.
  5. Save, and close the file.
  6. Reboot, and you should see the folder created.

That should auto-mount the drive with full permissions to use.

I hope that helps

That didnt really work, in "Places" it shows the Shared mount, but says "only root is allowed to mount from host"

Hey haun

Repeat the steps (if u deleted something).
After step 5 however type in.
CODE
sudo mount -a

that should mount the drive.

Reboot and the drive should still be there.
