Wrong fs type for vboxsf after installing Guest Additions in Ubuntu 14.04
I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 in Virtualbox 4.3.12, and the command sudo mount -t vboxsf mainshare /mnt/host gives this error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on mainshare,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I've installed Guest Additions like so: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
I then mounted that ISO, and run sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run. The installation seemed to go without errors, and I rebooted.
Any ideas?
edit: after 3 hours of Googling, I made this post. 2 minutes later, I find this one:https://askubuntu.com/questions/458286/getting-an-error-wrong-fs-type-bad-option-bad-superblock-on-ubuntushared
Fixed.

In the guest OS you need to add the user to the vboxsf group.
