[Nix-dev] VirtualBox 5.0 guest additions versus Vagrant 1.7.4 - shared filesystem not mounting

[Christian Theune]

Hi,

I’ve been tracing what’s going on. Seems its a nix-related problem. mount is trying to find the ‘mount.vboxsf’ binary but can’t find it. I added it to the system profile but found that it’s located in ‘sbin’ but mount only looks in ‘bin’.

Now I’ll try to figure out how to fix that …
