We are using shared folder and have seen the following problem: When in a subdirectory of a shared folder root a symlink is created which points to a file in the same directory which does not exist, an error happens when this directory is explored in the guest. The following sequence shows this bug: * Create a subdirectory in a shared folder[[BR]] mkdir test[[BR]] cd test * create a file in this subdirectory and a symlink to this file[[BR]] touch test.txt[[BR]] ln -s test.txt test.txt.lnk * Explore this folder in the guest, all works and is displayed as expected * now rename the file the link points to[[BR]] mv test.txt test.txt.save * Now explore this folder again, this gives the error ""Directory not accessible"" in the guest " defect closed shared folders VirtualBox 1.5.4 fixed other other
