Removing the package (before reinstalling the 4.4.x version) doesn't seem an option neither, because of its dependancies:Īt the end, I didn't succeed in mouting shared folders into my HDP 2.6.4.

Trying to update the kernel-devel/kernel-headers to match the 4.4.x version, I ended up with a conflict and I was unable to update the kernel-headers with the 4.4.x version. So we have a pre-requisite of our pre-requisite, which consists of " preparing guest for building external kernel modules"Īnd our HDP 2.6.4 doesn't seem ready: the running kernel (4.4.x id I'm right) and the kernel-devel and kernel-headers versions do not match), which is a condition that is checked during the installation process. In Virtualbox documentation Chapter 4 Guest Additions, it is said Figure A The Shared Folders section of the guest Settings window. In the Shared Folders section, click the + button in the right sidebar ( Figure A ).

Not really ! The devil is inside the details. In the Settings window, click Shared Folders. The instructions given in the article avoid to mention a setup pre-requisite which is "Installing VirtualBox Guest Additions" on the guest machine, that is to say installing it on our CentOS based HDP Sandbox VM.
