Since release 0.17, local ZVOLs dedicated to a VM as a virtual HDD (via VirtualBox internalcommands) can also be detected. Datasets containing the VM config files, VirtualBox snapshot files, and HDD image files, can be found automatically. Main new feature of release 0.15 is the ability of vbox.sh to create snapshots of ZFS datasets backing the VM and/or its data after shutdown, before startup, or on command-line request.Since release 0.16 the monitoring script can be used to delay completion of the VM's SMF start method to better ensure proper startup of SMF dependencies. VM can be rebooted or placed into SMF maintenance if it is not really working. "Hooks" to set up an external script to monitor that the VM is actually alive inside and does something useful.You can set up SMF dependencies between VM instances and system resources (as other SMF services) to ensure orderly startup and shutdown with the Solaris-based OS.Connect to VM serial consoles without service interruptions. Bring up a VBoxHeadless VM to manage it via X11 GUI console, then resume it as Solaris SMF service instance.Control VirtualBox VMs as Solaris SMF service instances, including VMs owned by unprivileged users and VMs running in Solaris local zones for extra resource control by the host OS.It is a universal way to enable a shared folder and it should work for all distributions. If you use some other distributions as a guest, look at the instructions for Debian. So, I will show you the settings for Arch Linux, Linux Mint and Debian as guest systems. In this tutorial, my host system is Arch Linux, but the host system does not matter in this case because we will do all the setting in the guest systems. Change the user permission for the shared folder.Install guest additions for your guest system.There are several essential steps you need to follow, to enable a shared folder between the real machine (host) and the virtual machine (guest): I will also show a universal way that should work for any Linux guest distribution. So, I will show you how to enable a shared folder in Virtualbox for Debian, Linux Mint/Ubuntu, and Arch Linux as guest systems. However, configuring the Virtualbox to share files between your main system and the system you installed in a VirtualBox is not trivial. VirtualBox is a very useful tool to install operating systems inside the main system.
