In which case it would be good to know if this issue does or does not exist in other Fedora releases (9 or 10 for example). To check the permission of the file or folder. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. Permissions are rules associated with files that determine if you can access the file and what you can do with it. have total control over the permissions of files in a shared folder selinux is disabled on both the host and guest. The shared folders are the ones available through the VM Settings -> Shared Folders option of the management UI. Also note that both the native root file system on both the host and guest is ext4 there does not appear to be a mount.vbox man page and the descriptions of the dmode and fmode options do not seem to fit what I want to do, i.e. Share on /path/to/mount/point type vboxsf (uid=500,gid=100,rw)

# mount -t vboxsf -o rw,exec,uid=500,gid=100 share /path/to/mount/pointĪs an aside, if I subsequently execute mount, I see Do Not Gain Root Administrator Privileges 2. To summarize, with a Fedora 11 64 bit host and a Fedora 11 32 bit guest on VirtualBox 3.0.4 (OSE), I am unable to change any permissions (chmod) for files in shared folder mounted as: Shared Folder Permission For A Virtualbox Parrot OS Guest Operating System 1.

The issue is documented in the VirtualBox forum - is the last entry as of the reopening of this ticket).

I reopened this ticket since the problem exists with a Fedora 11 (64 bit host and 32 bit guest) host/guest pair.
