Zitat von JD <jd1...@gmail.com>:
On the guest: # lsmod | grep -i vbox vboxadd 62772 0 Sorry, I had not known about the module vboxvfs. So, I had to modprobe vboxvfs manually. The mount now works.
Great, so we had one of this wonderful completely misleading classic Unix error messages here (no such device !!) ;-)
So, why was vboxvfs not loaded automatically after running VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run?
Looks like this is now the next interesting question in this puzzle. Ideally it should be autoloaded when a program like mount.cifs needs it. But this is now a question which somebody else has to answer. I had only the theoretical knowledge which components are needed for it to work, but do not have an such a system installed. And I fear also the details of this mechanism are different in various Linux flavors.
