       mount.vboxsf - x86 virtualization solution

SYNOPSIS

       mount.vboxsf [OPTIONS] NAME MOUNTPOINT

DESCRIPTION

       Mount the VirtualBox shared folder NAME from the host system to MOUNTPOINT.

       -w     mount the shared folder writable (the default)

       -r     mount the shared folder read-only

       -n     do not create an mtab entry

       -s     sloppy parsing, ignore unrecognized mount options

       -o OPTION[,OPTION...] use the mount options specified

   Available mount options are:
       rw     mount writable (the default)

       ro     mount read only

       uid=UID
              set the default file owner user id to UID

       gid=GID
              set the default file owner group id to GID

       ttl=MILLIESECSONDS set the "time to live" for both the directory cache
              and inode info.  -1 for kernel default, 0 disables it.

       dcachettl=MILLIES
              set the "time to live" for the directory cache, overriding the 'ttl' option.  Ignored if negative.

       inodettl=MILLIES
              set  the  "time  to  live"  for  the  inode  information, overriding the 'ttl' option.  Ignored if
              negative.

       maxiopages=PAGES
              set the max host I/O buffers size in pages. Uses default if zero.

       dirbuf=BYTES
              set the directory enumeration buffer size in bytes.  Uses default size if zero.

       cache=MODE
              set the caching mode for the mount.  Allowed values:

       default: use the kernel default (strict)
              none: no caching; may experience guest side

       coherence issues between mmap and read.
              strict: no caching, except for writably mapped

       files (for guest side coherence)
              read: read via the page cache; host changes

       may be completely ignored
              readwrite: read and write via the page cache; host

       changes may be completely ignored and
              guest changes takes a while to reach the host

       dmode=MODE
              override the mode of all directories to (octal) MODE

       fmode=MODE
              override the mode of all regular files to (octal) MODE

       umask=UMASK
              set the umask to (octal) UMASK

       dmask=UMASK
              set the umask applied to directories only

       fmask=UMASK
              set the umask applied to regular files only

       iocharset CHARSET
              use the character set CHARSET for I/O operations (default set is utf8)

       convertcp CHARSET
              convert the folder name from CHARSET to utf8

   Less common used options:
              noexec,exec,nodev,dev,nosuid,suid
