[SOLVED] Not able to mount shared folder

Hello,
I am not able to mount shared folder on guest ArchLinux in virtualbox.

I have referred to
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Virtualbox
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=70780

I have added
shared   /media/shared    vboxsf  uid=user,gid=group,rw,dmode=700,fmode=600,comment=systemd.automount 0 0
to fstab as given in wiki, but i noticed error during booting. something about root privilege.

$ modprobe vboxsf
Does not give any errors
$ mount -t vboxsf shared /media/shared
Gives error --  /sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such file or directory

How do i fix this error?

Does /media/shared exist?
