HowTo: Install VBox Synology DSM 4.2.3202 onto x86 ReadyNAS
XPENOLOGY DSM 4.2.3202 -------------------- OS: SYNOLOGY, DSM 4.2.3202 VIRTUAL MODEL: DS3612xs Are you worried that the new ReadyNAS 100,300, and 500 series means EOL for you current x86 ReadyNA...
As far as I understand, you would install VBox Guest Additions into the guest VM running inside of VBox, not the Host NAS running VBox.
It allows guest VM's to directly access some of the system resources of the Host NAS; like USB device nodes as well as the Host's files and directives.
I have not needed this feature because it is possible to remote directory map access between the Host and Guest.
I suppose it would be more necessary if you plugged a USB camera into the Host, but wanted apps running on the VM to access the CAM.
I've avoided trying to figure out VBox Guest Additions by using the host to control/access any USB devices.
