I am using Ubuntu 64 bit with a virtual box and I shared a folder between Windows (host) and Ubuntu.
In the virtual box configuration I defined the shared folder as follow:
Name (Windows) Path Access
Linux C:\Users\... Full
In Ubuntu, I mounted the folder with the following code:
sudo mount -t vboxsf Linux /home/julien/... (Path in linux)
I have had this configuration for a year and it worked well. Unfortunately, I have not used Ubuntu for 1 or 2 months and today I have the following error when I went to mount the folder:
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Invalid argument
Of course, both folders in Windows and linux have not changed. I tried to create a new virtual box with linux mint and I shared the same folder with the preceding steps: It works perfectly on linux mint.
Do you have any idea what happened ? Has something changed with Ubuntu recently ?
I read this topic but it did not help.
