#13440 new defect
can't share folders after yum update
Reported by: | virtualsomething | Owned by: | |

Description
Running windows 7 host w/fedora 20 guest. Setup shared folders and they worked fine for a long time, then they stopped working recently. When trying to mount the folders, get the error "/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device" Tried all online suggestions and no luck.
Eventually narrowed it down to working with fresh Fedora 20 install but the error occurs after a "yum update".
So if I have a VM that's been updated and boot from "Fedora with Linux 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64", it works fine. But if booting with the latest, "Fedora 3.16.3-200.fc20.x86_64) 20 (Heisenbug)" the shared folders don't work

Please execute /bin/lsmod | grep vbox in the guest and check if the VirtualBox kernel modules are loaded, in particular the vboxsf kernel module.

I'm seeing this also (although it's never worked for me on this machine).
$ lsmod |grep vbox vboxguest 235809 6
I'm running Ubuntu 14 as host, so it seems independent of host OS.
Host and guest are both 64bit.
What additional information would be required.
