Description:
The vboxsf kernel module cannot load with linux 3.17.3. Attempting to do so will produce this dmesg output: vboxsf: disagrees about version of symbol truncate_inode_pages vboxsf: Unknown symbol truncate_inode_pages (err -22) Steps to reproduce: Install affected package versions: - linux 3.17.3-1 - virtualbox-guest-utils 4.3.18-1 - virtualbox-guest-modules 4.3.18-4 Then invoke "modprobe -a vboxguest vboxsf". You should see the output: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxsf': Invalid argument Then you can "dmesg | grep vboxsf" to find the error mentioned above/ Downgrading to linux 3.17.2-1 will resolve the issue.

I fresh install ArchLinux as vbox guest twice, makepkg the virtualbox-guest-utils from ABS and install it. vboxguest & vboxvideo works. vboxsf fails. This result can be reproduced easily.
So, there is NO WorkAround for fresh install machine.
-------------------edit
In ABS, the package I used is called virtualbox. There is another package called virtualbox-modules, (on top of what had been done) makepkg and then install the virtualbox-guest-modules. modprobe -a vboxsf will work correctly then.
