Linux VirtualBox Setup

Setup information for Linux and Virtual Box:

  • Mounting NTFS Share Command:

    mount.vboxsf -w -o fmode=0777,dmode=0777 folder_name /mnt/path_to_mount_point
    
    • Where fmode and dmode set permissions, folder_name is what you named the folder within the VirtualBox settings and the /mnt/path folder must already exist.
  • Cloning a Virtual Machine via command line:

    C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe clonevdi "\path_to_vdi_to_be_cloned" "\path_to_where_cloned_vdi_should_go"
