Shared folders group owner set to root instead of vboxsf — at Initial Version

Reported by: domp Owned by:
Component: shared folders Version: VirtualBox-7.0.10
Keywords: vboxsf group owner Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Linux

Description

Mounting a shared folders in a Linux guest VM, the owner group is set to root instead of root, this forbid the users to fully access to the folder. Furthermore the permission set to files are quite strange, on the first level files have 664 (or 774), in deeper levels have 660 (or 770). My VB host is Linux Mint 20.3, and guests where I observed the issue are MXLinux 23 and Linux Mint 21.2.

As workaround you have mount the shared folder passing the gid parameter to force the ownership to vboxsf. sudo mount -o gid=<vboxsf gid> -t vboxsf <sf_name> <sf_mountpoint>
