VirtualBox共享文件夹失败

VirtualBox是个不错的虚拟机，今天打算从VMWare迁移到VirtualBox。安装VirtualBox和虚拟机的方法请参照本博客的其他文章，这里重点说下，在安装共享文件夹时的一个失败原因。

1 -- 安装共享文件夹失败现象以及查错

STEP01 在VirtualBox上设置共享文件夹名称：MyShareE，该共享文件夹指向主机的“E:/Share”目录。
STEP02 在虚拟机上进行挂接：mount -t vboxsf MyShareE /mnt/Share。执行该语句之后出现如下错误：

/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device

STEP03 在网上搜索之后，发现出现该问题的原因是没有正确安装增强功能包。我们可用命令“lsmod | grep vboxsf”来检测是否成功安装该增强包。
如果已经正确安装到虚拟机上，执行该命令后，将出现如下显示：

linux-rwdx:~ # lsmod | grep vboxsf
vboxsf                 37328  1 
vboxguest             195176  2 vboxsf

STEP04 该虚拟机上没有如上显示，所以打算重新安装增强功能包(Guest Additions)。
挂接增强功能包光盘后，到/mnt/cdrom目录下执行：./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run。发现有如下的错误（红色强调部分）：

linux-rwdx:/mnt/cdrom # ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run install
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

STEP05 按照错误提示，到日志文件“/var/log/vboxadd-install.log”中查找原因。该日志中有如下错误提示：

linux-rwdx:/mnt/cdrom # cat /var/log/vboxadd-install.log
/tmp/vbox.0/Makefile.include.header:115: *** Error: unable to find the include directory for your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_INCL= and run Make again.  Stop.
Creating user for the Guest Additions.
Creating udev rule for the Guest Additions kernel module.

根据此错误提示，推断应该是没有安装内核源代码，所以决定为该虚拟机重新安装Kernel。

2 -- 安装Linux内核源代码

STEP01 将虚拟机的光驱指向安装光盘，让系统从光盘启动。

STEP02 从光盘启动后，在如下界面选择“Installation”。

STEP03 一路Next，到“Installation Mode”界面，选择安装类型。
因为我们是在已安装操作系统上补装LinuxKernel，所以选择“Update”安装模式。

STEP04 点击“Next”，进入“Installation Setting”界面。

STEP05 在上述界面中，点击“Packages”，进入安装包选择界面。选择过滤“Installation Sources”，然后右面的选择框中，选择“kernel-source”。

STEP06 点击“Accept”到如下确认界面，选择“Start Update”开始安装。

STEP07 成功安装后，我们再安装增强包，如下提示表明成功安装。

linux-rwdx:/mnt/cdrom # ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
