I really appreciate any advice you could provide. You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of 'sf_Movies'.'Ĭan I really share the 'non system' aufs folders with Virtualbox guest OSs or I need to use the normal SMB shares in the VM guest OS? ISSUE: When I try to open the sf_Movies folder I get the error 'This location could not be displayed. I add my user to the vboxsf group so that I have full access to the folder

I log into the guest ubuntu vm and I can see the sf_Movies shared folder mountedħ. Within the settings of the ubuntu guest virtual machine I shared the folder Movies and set the access to Full and AutomountĦ.

Virtual machine have guest additions properly installedĥ. I created a virtual machine with ubuntu server 14.04 installedĤ. I have a shared folder (Movies) created in an aufs union filesystem from separated HHD (i.e. I am running OMV Stone burner 2.1.15 and virtualbox 1.3 pluging, Virtualbox pluggin is running in a partition of the OMV system drive.Ģ. I searched the forum and googled for similar cases but did not find anything.ġ. I have been trying to figure out this without any luck. It seems the permissions you expect with the mount command are only reflected on the directories and the files within the directories maintain a read only, no execute access level.Hi all, first of all let me thank you for such a great application as OMV and such a good community you all have here. You get the expected behaviour, in particular the folder symbol has the locked icon and you cant create files in the share Sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000,ro You can move a file out of the share, edit it then put it back OK. Although you can create and delete files in the folders you cant edit any of the files (as if the permissions are actually set to read only), nor if you copy an executable into the shared folder can you run it or even set the permission to allow it to run. If you examine the files and folders in the guest the permissions seem to be set correctly ie read and write etc. The share is correctly set up on the host with full access. Sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 I can successfully mount a shared folder using a command such as: I'm running VB on XP SP3 with a Ubuntu 8.04 guest.
