If you have met these requirements, you can ignore this comment. If this is your first time creating a virtual machine, we have a guide on our wiki that covers the important steps. Please also check our FAQ and if you find your question is answered there, PLEASE remove your post or at least change the flair to Solved. Please check Google and the VirtualBox Manual before asking simple questions. PLUS a detailed description of the problem, what research you have done, and the steps you have taken to fix it. * Whether you have installed Guest Additions and/or Host Extensions (this solves 90% of the problems we see) * Whether you have enabled VT-x/AMD-V (applicable to all hosts running 6.1 and above) and disabled HyperV (applicable to Windows 10 Hosts) * The version of VirtualBox you are using This is just a friendly reminder in case you missed it. Any idea how I might be able to figure out what's causing the problem? It's just in Pop! where the problem is happening. I have no problem sharing folders via Virtualbox using regular Ubuntu or other Linux systems. Beyond adding my account to the vboxfs group, I haven't messed with permissions or groups. It appears that some files owner/group is being change to nobody/nogroup. For example: $ sudo chown stuque test_small.txtĬhown: changing ownership of 'test_small.txt': Value too large for defined data type

I sometimes also sometimes get the error 'Value too large for defined data type.' when I run other simple file commands. I can't cd into a folder because I no longer have permission. I am experimenting with Pop!, and when I share folders using the Virtualbox shared folder feature, then I can read/write my shared folders, but then access errors start to occur after a few minutes, e.g. My VM is running Linux, and the host is Windows 10 and according to systeminfo virtualization is enabled in firmware. I am using Virtualbox 6.1, with Guest Additions installed.
