--- Comment #72 from Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
Hi,

(In reply to Sergio Monteiro Basto from comment #71)

I would be happy to have you as a co-maintainer, I've given commit rights to
you now.

Good point, fixed now.

That looks like your building from the virtualbox-upstream sources, as
mentioned in comment 65, you need a modified version of vboxsf to work with the
upstream-kernel version of the vboxguest module. This modified version is
available here:
https://github.com/jwrdegoede/vboxsf/

This is the version of the vboxsf sources which the rpmfusion akmod package
should use for F28+.

No that is not possible, Fedora does not allow out-of-tree kernel modules /
kmod packages as part of Fedora.

> Second point, how we load vboxsf module, is need add the file

> vboxsf.ko ? 

You don't need to do anything as soon as someone does "mount -t vboxsf" or the
virtualbox.service tries to do the equivalent for a folder selected for
automount, then the module will autoload. My vboxsf sources/module contains:
"MODULE_ALIAS_FS("vboxsf");" which will make the module autoload whenever
necessary.
