Shared Folders blue screen during compiling/debugging (winxp sp3) IS BACK... -> fixed in 2.0.2

From 2080:

When trying to compile a Microsoft Access 2007 project (i.e. make an ACCDE-file from an ACCDB-file) located in a shared folder, the guest system crashes repeatedly. I get the same error on various physical machines. When I copy the project to the local hdd, the project compiles fine. The BSOD error is STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005,0x80571A7C,0xB0208C20,0x00000000)

Possibily related to (already fixed) bug #1683

I'm running the latest version (as of 09-04-08) of VirtualBox on Ubuntu 8.04, my WinXP guest has the latest guest additions installed.

Installing the 1.6.6 additions in 2.0 works for you as well?

Please try the attached VBoxSF.sys. It fixes the crash here. Put the file to Windows\system32\drivers in the guest.

I had the same problem with Adobe Illustrator. When I tried to save a 95 megabytes file it crashed to BSOD. The attached VBoxSF.sys file solved the BSOD problem, the program doesn't crash anymore, but the files aren't saved correctly either. I'm getting a PDF error (could not find XREF) and the saved file ends up damaged. Any ideas?

I'm rolling back to 1.6.6 as well, it works fine. But I think I can confirm this bug and it's related to the shared folders driver.

New VBoxSF.sys doesn't work for me. For example, when I create text file and copy it to shared folder, my host system (GNU/Linux) cannot read its content. The same with other file types.

I recently had a Blue Screen when trying to copy a small file (PDF) to a shared folder, using Vista as host and XP as guest

I'm using 2.0 version, is there a patch or a way to fix it?

Windows guest shared folders driver for VBox 2.0 (updated)

Updated the shared folders driver. A regression was fixed. Now both Visual Studio debugging and saving files to shared folders work. Please try.

Now works fine, thanks.

How can i get that version of shared folder driver?...

From the Attachments section of this page (just below text on yellow background).

Sorry, Where should I copy files?

Look at the third comment.

Yeah!!..Thanks...!...Now works fine!

I've found that the crash problem happens every time you try to copy to a shared folder a binary file larger than 64KB. Il finary file is little no crash happens.

The attached VboxSF.sys make the crash disappear but it changed the content of the binary file being copied. In my system the copied file is filled only by 0x00.

Did anyone had the same problem? My system is, VirtualBox 2.0.0 on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.

Original VboxSF driver does not set copied file content to 0x00 (tried with a .docx file whose size is less than 64K).

The version of the VboxSF driver I tested is 2.0.1.36078. Is that the last? Cheers,

Paolo

The version is the latest (191040 bytes, md5: 5cf7213badea6645c5fc162b337fcef2) and it should fix the "file filled by 0x00" problem. Try to download the driver attached to this defect again. Also how do you copy the file, with which application?

OK. redownloaded the driver again and now it works (my MD5 was different from the one you said) Thanks,

Paolo

I just verified that the attached driver fixes the BSOD for me.

The updated VboxSF driver also fixed my problems with Adobe Illustrator. Thank you!

The attached driver fixed the problem for me too (host: opensuse 10.3, guest: win xp pro, w/o any service pack).

The attached driver fixed the problem for me too (host: debian unstable, guest: win xp home SP2).

Hi!!! After a long trip... I did some tests and... It's WORKING FINE!!! There's no more worries on Delphi 2007, Visual Studio C++ and Codewarrior... ;-)

Thank you guys!!!

Great. Thanks for the feedback (all of you)!

This is still occuring on 2.0.2 with OpenSolaris? as Host and Win Xp pro as guest.

Please make sure that the guest additions have been updated to 2.0.2 level. Check and post here versions of Windows\system32\drivers\VBoxSF.sys and VBoxGuest.sys.

Sun xVM VirtualBox Guest Additions 2.0.2r36486 (as indicated by mouseover VirtualBox tray icon)

VBoxSF.sys -> 2.0.2.0
VBoxGuest.sys -> 2.0.2.0

To recreate: In XP guest, copy a file into the Shared Folder -> BSOD

(Copying from host into guest works fine)

Which application is used to copy a file? Windows Explorer?

Apologies... Its working... I must have retested after updating but before installing guest additions.

Good. Thanks for the feedback. I've just tried a OpenSolaris? host as well, it does work.
