Public bug reported:
Moving to fuse has caused severe compatibility problems with VirtualBox.
Even going through and mounting all Windows drives beforehand, and
trying to access them as shared folders in VirtualBox does not work.
The drives appear to show up, but are void. Cannot access external USB
drive via VirtualBox either, does not show up at all.
Attempting to add drives to fstab manually as done in 8.04 appears to
corrupt the mount process so that the drive cannot be mounted at all.
Putting the fstab back as it was did not fix this problem - had to
restore image from backup. Fuse mounts the drives with generic names if
no label was assigned. Unable to change names through Properties. Was
able to rename from terminal after installing ntfsprogs and using
ntsflabel for ntfs volumes and e2label for ext3 volumes. No option to
set name during install of Ubuntu. Instructions should indicate the use
of double quotes around new name as means of setting case and adding
special characters like ().
Should be option to keep matters as they were under 8.04. The use of
uuid in fstab is counter-productive. If you install a second or third
instance of Linux, the drive's uuids will change, and grub will be
unable to boot to all instances if the uuid does not match up with that
found in the host boot process (/boot/grub/menu.lst). You should permit
generic boot order using /dev entries..
