Dear List,
I have trouble in mounting the shared directories for virtualbox.
---------------------- mount -t vboxsf share /comun/virtualbox/windoze mount: unknown filesystem type 'vboxsf' --------------------- I even tried (after some googling): -------------------- mount -t vboxfs share /comun/virtualbox/windoze mount: unknown filesystem type 'vboxfs' --------------------
.. am I missing some packages / modules? I have installed also the "guest packages" from the suse repo.
I am running 64-bit suse 10.3.
You're missing Guest Additions installed as explained in /usr/share/doc/packages/VirtualBox/UserManual.pdf
It should be installed in running guest OS.

Found the following thread: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=4646&highlight=unknown +filesystem+type see the questions/comments by "vale25". He had a very similar problem. Eventually he says: -------------------- Guest Vista Host openSUSE 10.3 VirtualBox 1.5.6 Shared Folder on host with name btmp and path B:/tmp Linux folder /home/vale25/btmp I suceeded to mount as root on openSUSE with: /sbin/mount.vboxsf -rw btmp /home/vale25/btmp Suggested command above does not work: vasuse:/home/vale25 # mount -t vboxvfs btmp /home/vale25/btmp mount: unknown filesystem type 'vboxvfs' -------------------- With "find" I am able to find a program named "mountvboxsf", but for me it does not work.. --------------------- fl-laina-13:/home/sampsa # /usr/sbin/mountvboxsf share paska /usr/sbin/mountvboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device ---------------------- .. there might be something mixed up in the suse 10.3 rpm's ? .. like files installed into wrong directories where mount can't find them?
