[Commands used were against VirtualBox version 4…]

Sometimes you don’t want to use a lot of disk space on your VirtualBox for install software or any ‘temporary’ need of space.

Adding shared folders from your host to your VirtualBox guest is a good option to use. If you have a Windows guest and a GUI based Host, it it’s very easy; click, click, done.

But if you are using a command line based guest and/or host, it a bit more complex. Use this post as a guideline, Linux knowledge is assumed…

Manually installing VBoxGuestAdditions [windows guest]

To easy… from the host command line, the guest additions are installed automagically on the Windows host machine.

Manually installing VBoxGuestAdditions [linux guest]

Steps

0. Guest: Common Errors
1. Host: ‘Putting the Additions in the DVD drive’
2. Guest: Mount the DVD
3. Guest: Install Additions (in case of errors, see 0.)
4. Guest: Unmount the DVD

0. Common Errors: Make sure GCC, MAKE and KERNEL-DEVEL (headers) are installed…

If not installed, you might run into next trouble:

To see what went wrong run ‘/etc/init.d/vboxadd setup’:

Correct what went wrong and run ‘/etc/init.d/vboxadd setup’ again:

1a. Find the IDE Controller device numbers

1b.Get the port and device numbers

1c. If not found, add it

Virtualbox guest additions iso

1d. Attach the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso as dvddrive

Vbox guest additions iso install

Port and device numbers needed here!

2. Mount the DVD drive on Guest OS

3. Install VBoxLinuxAdditions

If you encounter errors here, see: ‘0. Common Errors‘.

4. Done? Unmount and remove

Uninstall VBoxGuestAdditions

Adding/removing shared folders to VirtualBox

Adding shared folders without a VirtualBox GUI is done like this, “vbox_name” is the name of your virtual machine, “–name install” is the name of the vboxsf name in the guest, “–hostpath /install” is the folder on your host system.

On the guest it’s automounted to ‘/media/sf_install’, otherwise mount (again) with:
