I installed Fedora in Virtual Box with host windows xp.
I want to share file between host and guest. Someone suggest me to run the command in fedora
#sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 F_DRIVE /home/menjar/Desktop/xp
where F_DRIVE is the F drive in xp I am sharing and 'xp' is the folder in fedora where I want to mount.
Now It works but when I reboot, I can't see the contents of xp folder anymore.
After goggling I find a suggestion that say to add the command in /etc/rc.local
file. I am very new in linux so I want to know how do I do this.
I have tried to do this by using vi editor by running #vi /etc/rc.local
and I add the line
sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 F_DRIVE /home/menjar/Desktop/xp
and save by pressing Esc
and then :wq
but after doing I couldn't see any result. It still doesn't work.
So please explain how do I do this step by step (I am very new and don't know anything about Linux)? Am I doing something wrong with the command? should I have to place a '#" in front of the command while placing the line in /etc/rc.local? Please explain how do I solve it in detail.
