hi, i tried to mount some shared folder into slax running as guest on virtualbox and when mounting via command
mount -t vboxsf (sharename) (mountpoint) i get error msg: mount: unknown filesystem type 'vboxsf'. Can i add somehow add support for this to Slax?
In order to use the shared directory (vboxsf) in VirtualBox you have to:
- download these: ftp://www.roberto.foglietta.name/pub/slax/6.0.2/vboxsupport.lzm ftp://www.roberto.foglietta.name/pub/slax/6.0.2/vboxaddon.list
- boot from SLAX ISO and install it onto a VDI
- reboot from VDI without any ISO connected to virtual cdrom
- activate vboxsupport.lzm module (see the note*)
- install Guest Additions for linux as described below:
last voice in vbox Devices menu
mount cdrom and go in mounted directory
install executing ./VirtualLinux*.sh
- made a new vboxaddon.lzm modules as described below:
cd /; tar cvzf /vboxaddon.tgz $(cat vboxaddon.list)
tgz2lzm /vboxaddon.tgz /vboxaddon.lzm
- transfer /vboxaddon.lzm on VDI/slax/base/010-vboxaddon.lzm and reboot
OR
burn a new SLAX ISO including 010-vboxaddon.lzm in /slax/base
(*) to transfer vboxsupport.lzm virtual machine you have some ways:
- use another linux installation with shared directory activated by which transfer on VDI
- download from internet if you have virtual ethernet enabled
- copy via ssh/scp if you have virtual ethernet enabled
- burn a new Slax ISO with 009-vboxsupport.lzm in /slax/base and boot from it
vboxsupport.lzm is a free subset of vboxaddon.lzm module while the second contains software which belongs to Innotek and could/should be asked their permission in order to share it. Reading very well VirtualBox license could answer to my dubts...
