Hi Luis, sorry for late response, just noticed your comment. I think the problem was that add-share.sh included "/Users/pivotal/workspace" instead of $HOME/workspace, which was the same on my machine but not on yours. I fixed it, so hopefully this will work for you now.

Hi @johannespetzold,

I tried to use your scripts but every single time I get this (the container builds correctly):
modprobe: module vboxsf not found in modules.dep
2014/09/10 14:15:17 exit status 1

Have you come across this?
