How is it possible to auto mount in Virtual Box using Linux 13:04? I tried to put in fstab and rc.local 

Project/mnt/Project vboxsf umask=002,gid=1000,uid=1000

but did not work

Can anyone help me? When I put these files get an error on startup saying

"Unable to mount / mnt / Project"

Thanks.

  • See http://askubuntu.com/questions/252853/how-to-mount-a-virtualbox-shared-folder-at-startup and http://askubuntu.com/questions/52328/mount-virtualbox-sharedfolder-in-ubuntu-vm-on-boot. In the line above a blank is missing. It should be Project /mnt/Project. It may only be a typo then. – Takkat Mar 14 '14 at 19:36

Starting with version 4.0, VirtualBox can mount shared folders automatically, at your option. If automatic mounting is enabled for a specific shared folder, the Guest Additions will automatically mount that folder as soon as a user logs into the guest OS.

So you first have to install the guest addition in your VM.

Note:

Access to auto-mounted shared folders is only granted to the user group vboxsf, which is created by the VirtualBox Guest Additions installer. Hence guest users have to be member of that group to have read/write access or to have read-only access in case the folder is not mapped writable.

Ensure that the targeted users have been made member of the group vboxsf.
