Hi,
Trying to add shared folders to Virtualbox v1.5.0 in my openSUSE 10.3, I
couldn't do that.. Error message follows: "Shared folder host path
'/sdb5/<folder name>'is not accessible."

Investigating a bit, I found out that it is because the Address of the folder
it's wrongly indicated or there are 2 different paths for the same folder (!?).
The correct folder path (where the device which contains the target folder is
actually mounted) it is: "/windows/E/<folder name>". 

Now the shared folders work Ok.

It's not a bug of Virtualbox, but I think this is because the mount point or
the folder path it's shown in two different ways in openSUSE 10.3: If you click
in the button media:/ you will get the wrong path. So you have to go to
/windows/... and find or create there the shared folder that will be
accessible.

Regards,
Victor Marin
