Does it have everything needed ? 4.16-rc1 has the vboxguest driver, but it is lacking the vboxsf driver which is necessary for shared folder support. I've submitted this upstream and it has been reviewed and I've posted a new version addressing all review comments. So hopefully vboxsf will get accepted into next soonish and then I can add it as a downstream patch to Fedora. That is plan A, plan B is to ship without shared folder support. If we end up with plan B we should probably have the akmod-VirtualBox package build vboxsf instead of it not building any guest modules at all. > I plan to do some runtime tests once everything has landed in the coming > weeks. > > Once this guest addition package will be created, I think it will be updated > along the rpmfusion VirtualBox-guest-addition package.

So everything is fine (maybe only to have a comment to > schedule the removal of obsoletes/provides for f28+2 or whatever rhel > version is relevant). Ok, we also need to modify akmod-VirtualBox to not build the guest drivers on F-28+, as discussed before we will keep it around on existing guests which upgrade to F28 to avoid playing obsolete tricks which will cause problems on vbox-host installations. > One item I wonder if it can be improved is the "vboxsf" user/group creation: > (which I think is the correct way to have this user/group created).

The vboxsf user/group is used by shared folders marked as automount, these get mounted under /media and are only readable/writable by users in the vboxsf group. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
