I'm using freeBSD on VirtualBox on Windows10.
I want to mount on Windows. (HOST:Windows GUEST:freeBSD)
I run mount command but got an error below. 

mount -t vboxvfs -w mp /mnt/vbox
mount: mp: Operation not supported by device

How can I solve this error?

What I did:

I install virtualbox-ose-additions-nox11-5.2.34 and virtualbox-ose-kmod-5.2.34,
then append vboxguest_enable="YES" and vboxservice_enable="YES" to my /etc/rc.config.

mp is normal empty folder on C:

I also install Guest Additions following Virtualbox's dialog.

  • Is `mp` a shared folder on the host system? – Richard Smith May 21 '20 at 14:48
  • thank you for comment. I set pm as shared folder on virtualbox menu `device > shared folder > shared folder config > add`. and set params like this `path:C:/path/to/pm, folder_name:pm, auto_mount:true, mount_point:pm, is_parmanent:true`. Is it enough to make pm a shared folder? I'm not familiar to mount. – invalid May 21 '20 at 16:50
  • I am not familiar with VirtualBox on Windows10, but I was thinking that you may need to tell Windows to share the directory. – Richard Smith May 21 '20 at 17:52

this error caused by typo.

wrong : vboxfs
correct: vboxvfs

(I write correct command in this Question but I enter wrong command to my machine.)
