I have seen that the latest version of boot2docker has provided guest addition by default. It allows you to mount your home directory under /Users which is nice. However, I would like to mount more than 1 directory for my purpose. Assuming the path i want to add are /location/folder1 and /location/folder2, I have followed these steps:

  1. I have created the Virtual Machine mount points like this:

    VBoxManage sharedfolder add boot2docker-vm -name name1 -hostpath /location/folder1
VBoxManage sharedfolder add boot2docker-vm -name name2 -hostpath /location/folder2

  2. Then i ran boot2docker ssh and edited /etc/rc.d/automount-shares to add

    try_mount_share /location/folder1 'name1'
try_mount_share /location/folder2 'name2'

  3. I ran the following:

    sudo /etc/rc.d/automount-shares

I happily mounts the folder which I want.

Then, I do exit and boot2docker save to save the state of my changes. This works very well until I restart my machine. But the moment, I restart the host, everything is lost.

Is there a way I can persist the mountings ?

P.S. - I have added the guest addition and stored this folder for boot2docker 1.2 where you work around Dockerfile and create your custom iso but I am looking for a cleaner approach here since guest edition feature is available already.

Any help is really appreciable.
