What I'm not clear about is just what if anything has to be done with the shared folder on the host
Nothing. Just select it using VirtualBox GUI or command line.
and exactly what mount instruction if any is needed on the guest. A straight mount instruction just generates a not found in fstab etc error message.
That is something about how Mandriva is using mount command. The vboxsf (shared folder), or maybe vboxfs (filesystem) has to be known to mount command. That was error here with openSUSE 11.0 Beta2. unknown file system. I would look into 'man mount' of Mandriva to see details, at least where file system module is expected to be, and where vbox guest additions installed it. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
