I am able to mount my drive manually like this (ubuntu):
sudo mount -t vboxsf C_DRIVE /mnt/saga_c
But when I try and add it to my fstab it does not mount when I restart the machine. Is there something wrong with my /etc/fstab line:
C_DRIVE /mnt/saga_c vboxsf defaults 0 0
Do I need something in addition to the vboxsf? Or is there something else I am doing incorrectly?
Try removing the "defaults 0 0" part. Just a hunch.
Found this (put this instead of the defaults):
rw,uid=1000,gid=1000
Report back. :)
Running debian jessie as host, i used the option comment=systemd.automount in my /etc/fstab to get it working (in addition to the suggestion of Azizur):
Share /var/sfshare vboxsf auto,rw,uid=33,gid=33,umask=0007,comment=systemd.automount 0 0
uid, gid and umask were set for compatibility with owncloud (v7.0.4) to use the mount point as data folder.

This is what worked for me on Ubuntu 11.10 Server:
/etc/fstab line:
sites /home/rob/sites vboxsf auto,rw,uid=1000,gid=33 0 0
uid 1000 = my user, gid=33 www-data (apache group on ubuntu..)
/etc/rc.local
mount /home/rob/sites
After quite a bit of searching I found this VirtualBox/SharedFolders Troubleshooting.
try:
sudo chmod 777 /mnt/saga_c
This worked for me.
