In the case of saving changes hello.txt (via xed), the error is "Unexepcted error: Error renaming temporary file: Text file busy". The problem occurs when I attempt to modify/edit the contents of any of these files. Via the linux guest VM, I can rename/move/delete this file as I wish - as with all other files residing in the share location. I can create a file called hello.txt via the linux guest VM and place it on the share mount point, this then appears on the windows host NTFS system as-well as expected. To answer your question, yes - I am able to read and write files to the host share without issue. The shared points did not appear at all until this was installed. Guest additions are definitely installed, this was performed through the CD image - the VM now performs much quicker and no longer complains about lack of hardware acceleration. You are correct - that was a typo, the group is "vboxsf" as it should be. How can I mount the share with full editor permission? These commands map the share successfully, but I still have the same error when attempting to modify files that reside there. Sudo mount -t vboxsf -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 myshare ~/share Sudo mount -t vboxsf -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 myshare /media Some forum posts online have suggested that VIrtualbox's auto mount privileges are restricted somehow, so I have attempted to mount the share manually via terminal to various locations. The same error occurs with various file types so it seems to be related to permissions some how. Linux always complains that the file is in use elsewhere. However, I am unable to modify any existing files that reside there. I have installed the guest add on onto the Ubuntu VM and setup a share in the VM config with "auto mount" and full access.Īfter giving my linux username membership to the vbox_sf group and restarting the VM, I can read all files on the host share, create new folders, delete/move existing files and write new files. I am running Linux Mint as a VM through virtual box via a Windows 10 host machine.Īll is working well, but I am having trouble getting shared folder permissions to work properly.
