Hi,

I could not get manual mounting of vboxsf mounts to work under Linux
(Fedora) the problem turned out to be that the guest-additions installer
(the .run file) creates a /sbin/mount.vboxsf symlink to
/opt/VBox.../other/mount.vboxsf which does not exist correcting
this to point to:
/opt/VBox.../lib/VBoxGuestAdditions/mount.vboxsf
fixes this.

Note there has been a bug open about this for quite a while now:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/9307

But nobody noticed the broken symlink apparently.

Regards,

Hans
