However, the /media folder is still not created as part of the packaged VBox additions installation, which is a requirement for shared folders to work correctly.

No, it is no requirement. You can mount them to any other existing directory too, /mnt e.g. And that works fine. Auto-mounting doesn't work with openSUSE's virtualbox-guest-tools package though, yes. But the reason for this is that VBoxService is not started during boot, i.e. the vboxadd-service init script is missing. See also Bug#936254. With that file copied to /etc/init.d/ (you have to change the binary location though, it tries to run /usr/sbin/VBoxService whereas this is installed to /usr/bin/ in openSUSE's package) and enabled, auto-mounting works. Also, the /media folder is created automatically by VBoxService. It has permissions so that only root can access it, though. So it would probably make sense indeed to add it to the package too (with appropriate permissions). I submitted a package that should fix it: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/328393 Only "problem": if you update the virtualbox-guest-tools package, the service is not enabled automatically. You either need to enable vboxadd-service manually ("systemctl enable vboxadd-service" or in YaST->Services Manager), or uninstall the old package first. Forcing it to be enabled unconditionally would probably be no good idea either, as that would make it practically impossible for the user/administrator to disable it if not wanted/needed (as it would be enabled again on every update). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

So let's close this. But again, when updating you have to enable vboxadd-service.service manually. It is only enabled automatically when installing virtualbox-guest-tools freshly (so uninstalling that package and then installing it again should work too). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
