Creating database on virtualbox shared folder

Hi all,
I have fedora 13 64bit, in a virtual box guest. (host is fedora as well).
I would like to have a VM that has the oracle install, and then have a shared folder where all the database files live.
That would allow me in a distributed environment to easily distribute datafiles for databases and keep the vm foot print small.
Oracle install went fine, (10.2.0.5) but my issue is I can not create a database on the shared folder.
Oracle complains that it is a NFS mount that wasn't mounted correctly. (ORA-27054: NFS file system... not mounted with correct options)
But it's a vboxsf mount. I mounted it with the gid/uid of the owner of the folder in the host in read/write. I can create/delete/touch files in this mount
from the guest's O/S. I just can't get oracle to do anything with it.
Researching the NFS side of it people using NFS mounts have to specify the rsize/wsize but those are not mount options with vboxsf
fyi, mount command used: mount -t vboxsf <sharename> <mount point> -o uid=xxx,gid=xxx,rw
Has anyone else been successful at this? and if so how did you do it?
Guest Additions installed just fine btw, the oracle install is on a different shared folder and ran the oracle installation from there.

thx for the reply.
1.) no only one vm would access the datafiles.
The methodology helps where I can deploy the version of oracle that runs the database is deployed as a vm.
The version of the database doesn't change often for the product. The database can change, often.
To level set a host of machines where developers are working, unit test are running and so on. I can push
a set of files that make up the database off to a bunch of different physical machines.
Or people can simply grab the set of files and copy them.
This allows an easy way to only push/pull the data files, without vm's even started. And to only to have to transmit
that what has changed, the data files.
2.) the uid/gid of the oracle user in the guest, and the user that owns the directory on the host are the same and are what I'm using in the mount command.
I do not believe this is a rights issue. The oracle user can create/delete/edit/touch files in the shared folder in question.
It's simply that oracle seems to think it's a nfs mount, which it is not.
So just wondering if anyone else has solved this. thx...

Create Database on NAS Shared Folder

I installed Oracle 10g Server on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I use a Fastora NAS-208 NAS system and create a shared folder on it and I want to create an oracle databas on this shared folder but I can't because of Oracle Server wants to change ACL (Access Control List) of database location and add Administrator & SYSTEM users to ACL after clear ACL. It could clear ACL of shared folder but couldn't add SYSTEM and Administrator users to ACL thus ACL of container folder of database will be empty and Oracle Server colud not create database files (data files,...) on it.
Please guide me to solve this problem.

How do I allow users to create folders in a shared folder where we all then have read/write access to those new folders?

I have three users who need to access a particular folder on one of our other Macs. The folder resides on the desktop of that particular Mac and it is set as "shared" with all of our accounts set to access the folder. When a user creates a new subfolder in that shared folder, the permissions are instantly set to allow the creator read/write access but the other users are only allowed read-only access. Is there a way to set the permissions so that any new folder created in that shared folder automatically gives read/write access to all accounts who are authorized access to that shared folder?

You should be able to take the permissions you have set and "apply to enclosed items." I am trying to attach a picture of what this looks like so my apologies if it does not work.
Highlight your folder you want and go to File>Get Info or command+I and at the bottom where it has Sharing and Permissions, click the lock button to authenticate. Click the gear and click "apply to enclosed items". See if that works.

Access MS Access database on remote computer (shared folder)

Hello,
I need some help.
I've made a program and it works fine on my computer, but multiple users will be using program simultaneously, each one on his own computer conected over local network to mine computer (database is on my computer in shared folder).
When I try to access data on database (path is path of shared folder) i'm getting error 5013 (no database). The problem occurs only when I'm trying to read something from MS access database but not if I try to read data from .txt file, then it works fine...
I'm using ADO Tools
Can someone help me, I would be very greatful?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks to you Dennis I've managed to figure it out.
I'll explain this for future generations
1) I've created DSN. To do that open ODBC Data Source Administrator:
- for 64 bit app C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe
- for 32 bit app C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
In System DSN tab click Add.. then choose Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) (If you do not have this on list download that drivers from web) --> FINISH.
Enter Data Source Name (mine is Test2) --> Select... --> now because the MS Access database is on shared folder on remote PC go to Network... --> Browse... and select that shared folder --> Finish. Now you'll see all .mdb files on that folder and you choose your database --> OK --> OK --> OK
2) Now in block diagram you connect string "DSN=your_dsn_name;" (mine was Test2) to ConnectionString connector of ADO Connection Open.vi
It worked for me.

Some junk files created in my shared folder

hi
i have a server 2012 r2 and I shared a folder for network access.
my clients are xp and seven.
after 1 week some junk files apeared in my folder.
I deleted them but another files apear after some days.
files name like :
2fv34
df542

Hi Reza,
Sorry for my delay.
Based on your description, I understand that some odd files are created automatically in the shared folder.
If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Please run anti-virus software to scan the Windows Server 2012 R2 firstly.
Please let me know the type of those odd files. Or provide a screenshot of this file (please hide all protected
and private information). Meanwhile, please right click that file and select Properties. Navigate to General tab, Security tab and check if find some exceptions.
In addition, please open Control Panel on the server, select Folder Options, select View tab. There will be
two options under Hidden files and folders: Don’t show hidden files, folders, or drives and
Show hidden files, folders and drives. Please check if there has differences in those odd files when you check each option.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Hello All,
we have created shared folder on multiple client machine in domain environment on different 2 OS like-XP,Vista, etc.
from some day's When we facing problem when we are access from host name that shared folder is accessible but same time same computer when we are trying to access the share folder with IP it asking for credentials i have type again and again
correct credential but unable to access that. If i re-share the folder then we are access it but when we are restarted the system then same problem is occurring.
I have checked IP,DNS,Gateway and more each & everything is well.
Pls suggest us.
Pankaj Kumar

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the same shared folder can be accessed by name, but can’t be accessed be IP address and asks for credentials.
Please try to enable the option below on the device which has shared folder:
Besides, check the Advanced Shring settings of shared folder and confrim that if there is any limitation settings.

E4200 v1- problem creating a shared folder for the FTP server.

Hi,
I'm trying to share an external USB harddrive (4TB- HFS+) that is attached to my e4200 router. I'm trying to set up the FTP server, but when I try to create a shared folder, I get kicked out of the browser based interface for the router just as I'm trying to save the new shared drive. I have tried many different things to get it to work: different computers (PC and Mac) different browsers, reflashing the firmware (which is version 1.0.06, build 3), I tried all of this with an NTFS formatted drive as well- everytime I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure.
I can see my drive on the local network, and I know the FTP server is working, because I can log into it from the outside- but I don't see anything shared, when I do.
I have successfully gotten the media server to work using the same drive- but I can't create shared folder there either... It seems to have shared the entire disk automatically when I first connected the drive to the router.
Anybody have anything else for me to try?
Help!

Same problem. Has anyone found a solution? I contacted tech support and got nonsense responses. I was of course asked to Factory Reset even though I told them I had done it before I called - classic brush off. Basicly here is the problem.
1. I cannot create a share on a USB connected HDD - this worked on the older Firmware. Now every time I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure. I am not the only person with the problem. Crazy thing is I had a share created and it worked after the upgrade. I wanted to add an additional share and now it wont share anything. HDD plugged into my PC works great. I was asked to try a different PC - even though I told them I tried from IE, Chrome, Firefox on a Windows 7, Vista, windows XP, IPad, Kindle and Samsung phone.
2. While troubleshooting with the agent I discovered that although I have remote access disabled in the Administration>Management page but I can still access the router remotely. This is a huge security issue.
3. Linksys is no longer a Cisco Company - if the code is this bad Belkin should take the Cisco logo out of the GUI. Don’t blame Cisco for your poor SW.
I am ready to buy a new router and avoid Linksys and Belkin all together in light of these issues.
Additionally, I would simply downgrade but the older Firmware is not available. When I asked for it I was told I could not get it.

Creating file in shared folder

I need to access a folder on a network ( say \\server1\test ). test folder is shared on \\server1 with permission only to user 'A'. Now a java program ( Simple code snippet given below ) running will not be able to access the given folder due to access restriction. How can I make this code access the given folder and create a file xyz.txt in it.
Code snippet :
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class test
public static void main(String[] args)
File file = new File(\\\\server1\\test\\xyz.txt );
try
file.createNewFile();
catch (IOException e)
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

make sure that you have read and write permissions on that shared resource. i mean full access on that shared folder. with out full access you can't create/delete anything there. with read only access, you can read the content of the folder as well as that file only.

Can't open files created or pasted by network user in my shared folder, why?

When a user creates a file or drops one over network in my shared folder I can't open it without changing permissions first.
After installing 10.7.3 update Windows computer were not able to access my iMac anymore. After solving that issue this one was left for me to fight with.
I we googled hard and tried all permission repair methods listed, nothing helped.
Files created by Windows SMB users have RW permissions only for that user, an No access for Everyone. There are no permissions defined for me or staff group or anybody.
Thank you for your ideas.

I haven't found a solution to this problem yet. All Windows users now access my Mac with my username, changing permission all the time became annoying. This is not a solution, rather an easy way out.
I Would very much appreciate if someone has a proper solution.

Unable to create shared folder when creating distribution list

Hi,
I am trying to create a new Distribution List in ECC using T-code SO23.
The system is not allowing me to create a new Shared Folder (step in creating the DL).
Instead, I get a message saying 'Folder does not exist' (message code :SO 005)
I do not have this issue in either the 000 client or in the quality system. I check the authorization objects and general SAP Ofiice settings. Everything looks identical between the systems.
I would appreciate if any of you have any suggestions/advice?
Thanks you
Carrie.

Hello,
The following errors occurrd on our D* & Q* system, and SAP recommended that I run program RSSOPRRP (Check and repair the SAPoffice profile SOPR.). It resolved our issue.
Errors:
WK308 - Folder Shared folders is no longer available
SO005 - Folder does not exist
You might give it at try. If you still have an issue, open a OSS message.

Can't Create Shared Folder

I can not seem to create a shared folder. What am I doing wrong?
I select the "Sharing" tab and program displays "Connecting to Library" (retrieving latest shared activity) for several minutes and then displays a button "Start Sharing". Depressing the button brings up a window to enter a "Shared Album Name". To (list of who to share it with), and an optional comment box,
If a provide a name (Photos), and provide a "To", then when I press "Create" the screen just goes back to "Start Sharing"
Help, please

I figured it out. It's odd though. It was allowing me to see and operate the folders on the MBP using an older username from one of my prior OSs. My new Mavericks username is different than whet the permissions on the MBP were set to. Once I set up permissions on the MBP using the username that appears on my iMac Mavericks' in the User folder, it allowed me to create the folder. Strange though that it would let me connect and share without the new username.
NOT SOLVED. . It still doesnt work. I mistakenly created the folder in my own User Music folder on the iMac by mistake

How to create shared folder by default

Hi
I have a problem of course. I want to create new folder in my shared folders with the same permissions as the "root" folder. It doesn't work! Why?
Everytime I create a new folder it gets limited permissions for Groups and Others.
Please ...

As you have discovered, any new file created on OS X is read-only to all but the creator.
Fortunately, OS X 10.4 has a feature called Access Control Lists that will allow you to create a shared folder in which all files will automatically be read+write for all the users you specify.
Log in as an administrator and create a new folder in /Users/Shared called "sharefolder" or something similar. Then, from Terminal, enter the following to enable ACLs on your boot drive:
sudo fsaclctl -p / -e
Then enter this, replacing USERNAME with the short user name of the user to be given access (you can paste the whole thing at once) :
sudo chmod +a "USERNAME allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
/Users/Shared/sharefolder
Repeat that last step, replacing USERNAME with the short user name of another user to be given access.
When you are done, all users who you specified will have full read/write access to everything that is placed inside sharefolder in the future. ACLs are one of Tiger's most underrated features, IMO.
Warning: Files have to either be CREATED in the folder, or COPIED there. MOVING files from elsewhere on the same volume to the sharefolder won't cause the new permissions settings to stick.
