I have Ubuntu 10 as the guest OS on a Windows 7 machine. I have been trying to setup shares through VirtualBox, but nothing is working. First, I create the share in VirtualBox and point it to a Windows folder. Then I try to mount the drive in Linux, but I keep getting
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error
I have read so many solutions to this, but none seem to work. I have tried:
- Using the mount.vboxsf syntax
- Reinstalling VBox additions
- Rebooting
- Enabling and trying as root account
I made a share called "Test" in VBox Shared folders. Then I made a directory in ubuntu named "test2". Then I tried to execute this command:
sudo mount -t vboxsf Test /mnt/test2
Any other ideas?
dkms
error persisted. But the solution to me was to justrestart
ubuntu and mount again. It worked.
