That PR fixes invalid share names in Windows guests, where backward slash character is
used as a path separator.
Details:
Currently, if we define the synced folder this way (for Windows guest):
then the share id will be this string:
'C:\Users\vagrant\my_share'
In the guest it will be exposed as
\\VBOXSRV\C:\Users\vagrant\my_share
, which is an invalid path, so the share will not be available.This Pull-Request adds
\
to the regex, so this char will be replaced with_
.The result share id will be
'C:_Users_vagrant_my_share'
and it will be available at\\VBOXSRV\C:_Users_vagrant_my_share
without any issues.The similar PR has been sent to Parallels provider: Parallels/vagrant-parallels#296
