Edit of shared folder has no effect in guest — at Initial Version

Reported by: simon marshall Owned by:
Component: shared folders Version: VirtualBox 3.2.4

Guest type: Solaris Host type: Windows

Description

(I was trying to replicate my entry for HGCM error in http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6314 on a different host but without success. However, I can replicate the shared folder issue so I'm reporting it as a new ticket.)

I installed a Solaris-x86 (s10u8) guest under VB-3.2.4 on my Win7 host.

  • updated the vm (5 updates) and rebooted guest
  • installed the ga and rebooted guest
  • created a shared folder called marshals to a particular host folder "1"
  • mount -F vboxfs marshals /export/home/marshals and rebooted guest
  • remounted and verified shared folder visible with contents of "1"
  • edited shared folder to point to a different host folder "2"
  • unmounted marshals and remounted marshals

BUG: the mounted directory is still pointing to the original host folder "1"

  • rebooted guest and verified the bug
