Thanks for the reply tekkb,
I am running ubuntu server as the guest OS in the VM.
The VM have guest additions properly installed and in the settings of the ubuntu guest virtual machine I shared the folder and set the access to Full and Automount.
I can see and mount the folder within the ubuntu guest but when I try to open it then I get the error 'This location could not be displayed. You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "sf_Movies".'
The nic is bridged and set to the same eth0 as the host. But please correct me if I am wrong, I was expecting to be able to access the host shared folders within the guest OS without caring about the nic settings as I am not using LAN for the sharing but it is just accessing the folders from within the guest OS.
Thanks for the help.
I am still struggling with this issue. I wonder if this is an issue with the aufs folder share from the host OMV.
Has anyone else got a similar setup working? I am about to give up and use normal SMB share within the guest vm but I know this should not be the only/best solution
Thanks for the help
