I'm back. I no longer work for my previous team. That's means I no longer a seeder (for our commercial Linux distro, it's abandoned) and no longer a troller (that's people accused me, I've never intended to troll anyone). I'm have my desktop PC back with new hardware and this time I want to try FreeBSD seriously. As expected, it doesn't detect my USB dongle. So I stayed with Windows 7 as the host (I'm writing on Windows 7 because I give the VM all of the physical cores of the CPU and the maximum ram allowed by VBox so I can't run anything other than the VM the same time). The problem is VBox shared folder doesn't mount automatically like it does on OpenIndiana.
I installed FreeBSD 11.3 normally with guided Root On ZFS and install bash nano sudo xorg mate virtualbox-ose-additions virtualbox-ose-kmod slim slim-themes and set them up as usual. I changed bash to be my default shell (root's shell still tcsh), export EDITOR=nano and set visudo to allow anyone on group wheel to execute without password (including my user account). Added exec mate-session to .xinitrc.
Added /boot/loader.conf: vboxvfs_load="YES"
Added /etc/rc.conf:
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
vboxguest_enable="YES"
vboxservice_enable="YES"
slim_enable="YES"
Then I reboot. I could see vbox addition started correctly on dmesg and I could change Mate Display to Full Screen resolution. That's mean vbox addition worked. Then I checked /mnt like on OpenIndiana to see if the shared folder mounted, it's not. I tried to mount_vboxsf manually with the share's name to be Share /sf_ that I taken from my MX Linux VM but it said "Share /sf_" not found. I don't know why.
Now I disabled Automount from the VM's setting and will report if I could mount it manually via Caja.
