Hm, it doesn't seem to work here with an Arch host and an Ubuntu Natty guest. I made absolute sure that the permissions for the shared dir were "Full", and yet:
Code:
mrcode@nattyvm:~$ sudo mount -t vboxsf Pictures /mnt/vboxshared
[sudo] password for mrcode:
mrcode@nattyvm:~$ cd /mnt/vboxshared
mrcode@nattyvm:/mnt/vboxshared$ touch file
touch: cannot touch `file': Permission denied
mrcode@nattyvm:/mnt/vboxshared$
I'm thinking it might have to do with host permissions on my end, though.
EDIT: Nope, not even chmodding the host directory to be mounted in the guest to 777 will let me write into it.
Also, shouldn't this be in one of the technical forums, like Linux - Virtualization?
