Question 6: ~]$ touch /media/sf_test123/test.txt & ls -l /media/sf_test123/test.txt However the folder does not seem to be mounted elsewhere, there are no other folders with that name on the system. VbsvcAutomounterMountIt: Failed to mount 'test123' on '/media/sf_test123'īecause it is probably mounted elsewhere arleady! (-1,22) Thanks for your beginner friendly questions / instructions! and the welcome. Hey now my setup is a Windows10 Host and Manjaro Guest and i am just trying to get SF working for now. if it does, does your user have read/write acces to it? (touch /media/sf_test/test.txt & ls -l /media/sf_test/test.txt).does the ownership look good? should be root/vboxsf (ls -ld /media/sf_*).does the configured shared folder (/media/sf_test in out hypothetical scenario) appear at all on the guest system? (s -d /media/sf_*).does the mount operation appear in the service log (journalctl -u vboxservice | grep automount) and is it marked successful?.does the service rvice run on the guest machine? (systemctl status vboxservice).have you restarted the guest manjaro after installing the guest additions?.than, having installed guest additions on the guest manjaro and having made sure the user on the virtual machine is in the vboxusers group, you expect to see the contents of the shared folder in /media/sf_test folder on the virtual machine, and it's just not there, is that about it? you're mounting this folder in virtualbox virtual machine (guest) settings and giving it a name, say, test.
You have a non-empty folder on your physical machine (host) running manjaro, something like ~/test for example. I'm not sure i fully understand your setup and expected result.
