Description
it is impossible to create a symlink within a shared folder from guest OS.
guest shell output:
[user@centos sf_sources]$ mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,rootcontext="system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0")
/dev/sda3 on /home type ext4 (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
sources on /media/sf_sources type vboxsf (gid=501,rw)
[user@centos sf_sources]$ ln ./test ./test2
ln: creating hard link ./test2' =>
./test': Operation not permitted
[user@centos sf_sources]$ ln -s ./test ./test2
ln: creating symbolic link `./test2': Read-only file system
[user@centos sf_sources]$ touch test2
[user@centos sf_sources]$ ls test*
test test2
host FS for the shared folder is ext4.
same operation worked fine in ver. 4.1.6
