That's it! You have just mounted in Ubuntu the systems folder hosted on your local machine. You should see your systems directory listed: You can also check the file systems that have been mounted on your virtual machine using the "disk filesystem" command.This time the user and group owner of this directory should match your Ubuntu username: Check again the ownership and access rights for your systems directory.Sudo mount -t vboxsf MacSystems ~/systems -o uid=$USER -o gid=$USER Unmount the systems directory and then mount it again, but this time specify the user and the group owner of the directory to be yourself:.We have a problem: notice that the user and group owner of the systems directory is the root, and users to not have write permissions to this directory.
