I have a PC with Windows 7x64. I installed Oracle VM (v. 5.2.20). In the VM I installed Ubuntu 18.04 and created a shared folder in the VM. The shared folder has name vp and refers to d:\vp folder on Windows.

In Ubuntu, I set up auto-mounting and now this folder is displayed in Ubuntu as sf_vp.

Next, I want to mount this shared folder to my folder on Ubuntu /home/roman/vp.

I can do it on working Ubuntu via the command:

sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 vp ~/vp

It works successfully, but when I add this line:

vp /home/roman/vp vboxsf uid=1000,gid=1000

into /etc/fstab file and reboot Ubuntu, it somehow doesn't mount upon loading Ubuntu, if writes "FAILED mounting ...".

And if I add this string into /etc/fstab and execute a command

sudo mount -a

without a reboot, it also works and the folder /home/roman/vp is mounted successfully.

Could you clarify me, what doesn't mounting work upon loading Ubuntu?

I want to repeat, Ubuntu is installed in Oracle VM and vp is a shared folder, it set up in Oracle VM too.
