--- Comment #76 from Evangelos Foutras <evangelos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
@Hans Do you know if the upstream fix for VBoxServiceAutoMount and vboxsf.mount
will support both pre-4.16 and current kernels? (Or if it's going to support
mainline vboxsf only.)

Supporting both in VBoxServiceAutoMount seems somewhat straightforward (current
Arch Linux workaround at [1]), but mount.vboxsf is more tricky. In my hacky
patch linked below, I just print a message to use `mount -cit` instead. A
problem with this approach, however, is that there's no way (that I can see) to
disable the helper from within fstab entries.

If the upstream solution is going to be in line with Fedora's (only supporting
option strings for mounting), then we might as well roll with that in Arch
Linux. Seems like it was an easy decision for Fedora 28 since only Linux 4.16
has to be supported, but we also ship the latest LTS kernel (and Manjaro even
ships almost all kernels found on kernel.org :O).
