# Step 1. VirtualBox. Add the error in the command line, in the VirtualBox image interface manually add, as shown above.
"C:/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox/VBoxManage.exe" sharedfolder add default --name "E_DRIVE" --hostpath "e:\\" --automount

# Try 1. Only a temporary effect. Restart VM after sharing failure.
#docker-machine ssh default "sudo mkdir -p /e" # Create a directory identifier, consistent with the Windows drive letter
#docker-machine ssh default "sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=50 E_DRIVE /e"

# Try 2. Modify /etc/fstab. Do not use the permanent mount. Each restart /etc/fstab content will be reset
#docker-machine ssh default "sudo sed -i '$ a\E_DRIVE /e vboxsf uid=1000,gid=50 0 0' /etc/fstab"

# Step 2. `C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\start.sh` https://github.com/docker/machine/issues/1814#issuecomment-239957893
docker-machine ssh default "cat <

Then restart the VM. Try this: docker run --name php-fpm --rm -it -v /e:/var/www/html php:7.1.4-fpm /bin/bash
