mount ext4 & ntfs in virtualbox

[islamux]

Hi
I'm new to FreeBSD, I've been using Linux for 10 years and I want really to install FreeBSD in my harddisk but before that I want to practice enough in FreeBSD and read a lot in FreeBSD until that installed FreeBSD in virtualbox. And all things done well. All the problem I faced search in FreeBSD forum and handbook and solved it but one problem I can't find any thing about it.

I want to mount partitions of ext4 & NTFS in virualbox how to do that

I search a lot I didn't find any thing useful please help

You can mount (might be read only, I"m not sure) ext4 partitions by installing fuse-ext4fuse.

pkg install fuse-ext4fuse
kldload fuse
ext4fuse /dev/ada0s2 /mnt

Assuming the LInux partition is ada0s2 (the 2nd partition of the first disk. FreeBSD uses slices in a similar manner to the way Linux uses partitions)

thanx @scottro
pkg install fuse-ext4fuse
kldload fuse
i did it and
[SIZE=4]pkg install virtualbox-ose-additions-5.1.22_[/SIZE]
[SIZE=4] pkg install fusefs-ntfs[/SIZE]
vi /boot/loader.conf
fuse_load="YES"
this my rc.conf

dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
vboxguest_enable="YES"
vboxservice_enable="YES"
vboxservice_flags="--disable-timesync"
fusefs_enable="YES"

this my loader.conf

hw.psm.synaptics_support="1"
fuse_load="YES"

by the way
/dev/ada0s2
it's not a real partition i made it in virtualbox for testing only
this is my dev in FreeBSD

islamux@FreeBSD:~ % ls /dev/

and this my fstab in FreeBSD

my real partitions dosen't apper in freebsd.
i can't see any partition of my real hd

Partition 3 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition 5 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition 7 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition 8 does not start on physical sector boundary.
Partition table entries are not in disk order.

You did not add your real partiton to vbox?
If you want to mount the real partiton in FreeBSD, you should add the partition to vbox as a disk first, then you will see the disk in /dev on FreeBSD. After that, you can mount the disk from FreeBSD using fuse.

thanx Jov
i shared folders in virtualbox and made them auto-mount & make permanent

 

[SirDice]

The FreeBSD VirtualBox guest additions do not support shared folders. There were some people working on this but I have no idea what the status is.
