Jika kita sudah membuat virtual machine dan menginstalasi OS di dalam-nya. Kita dapat menshare filder antara host dengan guest.
Misalnya sebuah virtual machine dengan nama WinXP dan folder yang akan di share adalah /home/user/shared. Matikan virtual machine dan lakukan langkah berikut,
VBoxManage sharedfolder add winXP -name "sharedfolder" -hostpath "/home/user/shared"
Mount shared folder dalam guest. Untuk Windows guest dapat dilakukan sesudah anda boot up menggunakan terminal / perintah DOS berikut
net use G: \\vboxsvr\sharedfolder
Virtualbox: Shared directory- “unknown filesystem type vboxsf”
I got the error message “unknown filesystem type vboxsf” while I was trying to share a directory from my Windows XP host to Ubuntu Interpid Ibex (8.10). In almost every where it said to install Guest additions. After spending few hours I found the solution. So decided to share with you for reference.
Step 1: Install host additions (usually you install them when you install virualbox).
Step 2: If you have created a new machine, then create a shared directory/folder. (From the machine’s Devices menu)
Step 3: From machine’s Devices menu, select “Install guest additions”
Step 4: Now in the guest (Ubuntu Ibex Interpid for my case), fire up a console and type the following:
sudo /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
It should install the additions.
Step 5: Now create a directory where you want to mount your shared drive. For example I have created shared directory under mount using following:
#cd /media #sudo mkdir shared
Step 6: Mount using following command:
sudo mount -t vboxsf shared /media/shared
Note that shared was the name of the directory I shared from virtual box and /media/shared is the directory where I wanted to mount my shared directory.
Now you should be able to see the files under shared directory in both system.
Enjoy!
