Vbox GA SF_Downloads not populated

VM guest: ASTRA-Linux
Just curious if somebody has the same issue and how this can be solved. The shared_folders are created but they are empty on VM guest (obviously there are files on host). Code:
root@astra:/media/sf_Downloads# ls -la Note: -prerequisites: headers, gcc, make, perl installed -the GA installed with no errors -<username> is in vboxsf Group. Rebooted. It looks like the sfdownloads module is not loading. I reinstalled GA and issue persisted. There are no errors in vboxsetup.log Screenshot attached |
What type of shared folders are you referring to: shared as in "network shares" or shared as in shared with the host?
In any event, in my experience, once user creates shared folders (of either type), it's up to user populate them with files. If I am completely off the mark with what you are trying to accomplish, please set me straight. |

I would expect GA to work the same running Astra as any other guest.

To manually mount the share run as root mount -t vboxsf share_name /mnt/some_dir_name The share_name can be different from the actual shared directory on the host. My preference is using /mnt but use whatever you want. |

Sorry, I am not going to install Astra.
