df command/process killed on SLES10 when using Shared Folders

[Ciro Iriarte]

I'm running VBox 3.0.2 with OpenSUSE 11.0@x86_64 as host and SLES10SP2@x86_64 as a guest and everytime I mount a shared folder I can't use the "df" command. It stops before printing information about the mounted shared folder. The last line printed on console is: "Finished (killed)".

Forgot to mention:

• I can access the files in the shared folder
• "df" can't display the information for that filesystem
• I can't umount the filesystem, it gives "device busy", although lsof or fuser don't show any process

perhaps this is related to #5891?

I dont' think so, I don't get kernel oops, and I can work with the files, only "df" and umounting the filesystem have issues. Also, SLES10SP2 runs kernel 2.6.16

Still relevant with VBox 3.1.8 additions?

Just tested with SLES10@i386 and I'm getting "Segmentation fault" running a "df -h". I still access to the mounted filesystem and can work with the files. Working with VBox 3.2.2 and installing new VBox Additions in the Guest.

SLES10@i386 with 3.2.2 VBox Additions

Must be some special patch in the SLES10 kernel then. I just tested Linux 2.6.16.60 vanialla and df works fine here.

strace from df execution
