OK I'm trying do this , how vboxguest.ko is loaded in boot time ? 
Before we loaded with /usr/lib/modules-load.d/VirtualBox.conf file but now we 
don't add any file to add  /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ ...

OK, this raise me one question when kernel 4.16 go to F27 what I should do ?
seems to me this is more if kernel than if fedora version

OK

I'm trying :)

again depends on kernel version , I can't do this on a kernel of F26 or of epel
7, isn't it ? 
So have 2 codes for vboxsf is more complicated 

Thanks
