I have the following in /etc/fstab:

    vmshare /media/vmshare vboxsf defaults,auto,comment=systemd.automount,uid=sam,gid=sam,dmode=755,fmode=644

When I boot into 3.2.0-4-amd64, the filesystem is accessible. When I
boot into 3.9-1, the filesystem fails to mount with the following
messages:

    Jun 16 00:08:40 wintermute mount[1902]: /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device
    Jun 16 00:08:40 wintermute systemd[1]: media-vmshare.mount mount process exited, code=exited status=1
    Jun 16 00:08:40 wintermute systemd[1]: Unit media-vmshare.mount entered failed state.

I have to manually load the vboxsf kernel module before attempting to
mount any shared filesystem to avoid this error.
