&os; provides an API for guest OSes to access shared folders on + the host OS so that the kernel driver can expose them to the + guest's userland. This project aims to add such functionality to + the VirtualBox Guest Additions driver.

+ +

Good progress was made over last few months. Developers were + able to mount a filesystem in read-only mode and, with some + limitations, in read-write mode. The implementation still lacks + some critical pieces, but the roadmap is clear.

+ + + + Finish the missing pieces. + + implement proper locking. + + general clean-up and bugfixes. + +
