Share DataSet with VirtualBox Guest

[Soloam]

Hello, I would like to share a dataSet with a VirtualBox host, I'm using a Debian Guest to run zoneminder. At the time I'm using Samba to share my folder with the guest VM, but I would prefer to use a direct mount to avoid IO problems on SAMBA. Several cameras generate a lot of traffic.

Is this possible? i tried several approaches and I always bump into permissions problems!

Thank you
Best Regards

If you use the command 'chmod 777 [name of directory]' to set the permissions on your target director then you should be good to. The order of permissions is owner,group,everybody. 7 gives all permissions for that scope. If you want it to be more secure you can set it wide open like that and see what the user name of the files created are and then set more restrictive permissions and change the owner to match.
'chown {owner}:{group} {name of diectory}.
Good luck.
