Sensiva, the fact that the error was not shown is related to the bug Scott was setting the duplicate to.
I am re-opening the bug for the aspect that the filesystem is not mounted and causing an error instead. Scott, The mount.vboxfs is provided by the virtualbox-guest-additions package. The issue here is that the vboxsf file system type depends on the module "vboxfs" kernel module which is only loaded later from /etc/init.d /virtualbox-ose-guest-utils . Sensiva, a workaround is to mount the filesystem from /etc/rc.local using: sudo mount -t vboxsf share mountpoint I have kept the bug open for mountall just to track the feedback on how should this modular filesystems should be handed from a "mountall" perspective. -- [lucid] vboxsf mounts defined on /etc/fstab cause errors on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530179 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
