Once they have click the "Run" button in the dialog that popped up in your Guest VM.Īfter the script finishes right click the CD Icon on the Desktop and choose Eject. With your running VM selected go to the VirtualBox menu and select Devices -> Insert Guest Additions CD image.Īllow a few seconds for the mount to occur and the install script to kick off. Once you have the prereqs in place its time to install the Guest Additions. sudo yum groupinstall 'Developer Tools'Īnd the Kernel headers package so that the Guest Additions script can update your kernel. Make sure you have the Developer Tools installed. Start up your RHEL Guest VM and open up a Terminal. I can just rename the shared folder entry to Z and anything in the guest that is expecting to see /mnt/hgfs/Z with 777 permissions on everything will get it.For VirtualBox(5.0.24) Host=Mac(El Capitan) and Guest=RHEL(7.2) This works fine, and is a better workaround for me, as I don't need to disrupt the existing folder structure on the Z drive.
As well as the Z letter assignment, I mounted it to a folder called test on the X drive, and created a shared folder entry for it in the VM settings. I also experimented with creating an additional mount point on the host for the Z drive. The permissions remain the same for the shared folder that is linked to an entire drive.
I tried defaults,allow_other and allow_other on its own. I also tried changing the mount options in the fstab entry. if I change the mount point the behaviour remains the same. I don't think there's anything special about /mnt/hgfs, it's just a folder I created as a mount point. But I just mount them all to the same point, so I just have the single entry that mounts everything at once. If you want to mount each shared folder differently, then you can create separate fstab entries for each of them. host: part means it will mount all enabled shared folders.
