Description:
Since the upgrade to a 3.11 kernel, any ArchLinux (or any others distribution) guests running a 3.11 kernel cannot access to the folders that have been shared. A patch has been submitted upstream [1] but won't be available until a new maintenance version is released (in the next 2 months or wait for the 4.3 which is currently in beta). Since that bug is rather blocking for all of us running VM with updated kernels, could you then backport that fix to the current VirtualBox additions?

This task depends upon
This is the reason why I'm submitting this bug report to the right location (here).
The only solution for now, without that patch, is to downgrade to a 3.10 kernel which is rather tricky/annoying.
And now, with the newly released 4.3 VirtualBox release, this bug has been completely fixed, there is no need to backport any upstream code any more.
