![]() ![]() ![]() 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 ![]() And this can be done via Shared Folder feature. ![]() One of the top things after installed a virtual machine via VirtualBox is how to transfer files between host OS and guest OS. The share does not work, cannot see the files under the shared folder from the host machine. This quick tutorial shows how to share a folder in Virtualbox Ubuntu host and get access within Windows virtual machine. However the same behavior as for Auto-mounting happens. Next, open VirtualBox from the host machine and select the guest OS you wish to edit, then select Settings > Shared Folders. 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. I followed (among other related threads) in order to mount a shared folder in my Ubuntu 20.04 VM. When you have Installed virtualbox on your system and Ubuntu ISO image then move next step > Section 2: Create Virtual machine compatible to Ubuntu 19.04 because You will need it at the time of installation of Ubuntu on Virtualbox. ![]()
