+ ===== Automounting Shared Folders in VM =====
+ 
+ Starting with version 4.0, VirtualBox can [[http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sf_mount_auto|mount shared folders automatically]]. However it needed hardcoded group ''vboxsf'' to exist, no errors were shown if the group did not exist.
+ 
+ The group was added in [[http://git.pld-linux.org/?p=packages/VirtualBox.git;a=commitdiff;h=551622b8b751ca9fe190ea3af0077fa246cd6b9f|VirtualBox-guest-4.3.8-4]] package.
+ 
+ However, the automounter is still very poor, it will stop mounting other shared folders if there's problem with one of them (shared source folder missing, permission error etc). To debug this, run ''VBoxService -v -v -v'' in verbose mode in guest.
