The driver runs on the guest OS. I still don't understand why Oracle provides their own guest drivers when the kernel already has them.

That aside, is VBox crashy for other people? Or is it just me? Running on Windows host, it crashes on simple stuff like logging out.

I moved from vbox to kvm without issues, nice there are options though.

I found that I lost timestamp accuracy with vboxsf. Granted that ext4 has 1ns resolution, and exfat has 10ms resolution, but still, you'd think that 10ms would be enough that 'make' wouldn't have a meltdown. Maybe vboxsf rounds off to 2s like old FAT resolution was.

I had a problem on openSUSE tumbleweed, after getting a kernel upgrade, virtual box stopped working.
From a bug report I was shown, I know they are already aware of this.
With help from the openSUSE forum, now using KVM.
Guest failed to start with 5.13 kernel.
For other tumbleweed users, in the grub screen you can select the 5.12 kernel under advanced options.

How is it possible it was originally merged in a state that breaks userspace? Is GIT or vboxfs at fault there?
And what is going on in kernel land when normal update is not reviewed in 6 months?Last edited by varikonniemi; 13 July 2021, 04:52 PM.

Is this for Linux as the host or for the VM (or does it have to be both)?

Good to see work on this. Hopefully we'll get support for virtiofs in the future.
