Mount Windows share on Linux boot

Question

I'm running VirtualBox in Windows. I have Ubuntu Linux 10.04 installed as a VM.

Whenever I log in I have to run to following command to mount my shared Windows web dev folder:

sudo mount.vboxsf web_apps /mnt/web_apps

Where can I put this line (minus the sudo) so that it will run once when Linux boots up? I'm guessing there must be a root .profile or .login script that runs at some point?

SOLUTION:

Thanks to The Operator I figured it out, for future superusers, here's what I did:

1. From Terminal:

   sudo nano /etc/modules
   

2. Added the following to the bottom of the file:

   vboxvfs
   vboxadd
   

3. Save and exit. Then:

   sudo nano /etc/fstab
   

4. Then, at the bottom of this file added:

   web_apps /mnt/web_apps vboxsf defaults 0 0
   

Answer 1

You can add the share to your /etc/fstab for it to be mounted automatically at boot. See Here
