ln -s keeps saying me that file system is read-only, however it is not.

ice@distantstar:~/virt 
? touch file
ice@distantstar:~/virt 
? rm file
ice@distantstar:~/virt 
? ln -s ~/.bashrc ~/virt/.bashrc
ln: failed to create symbolic link `/home/ice/virt/.bashrc': Read-only file system
ice@distantstar:~/virt 
? mount | grep virt
none on /home/ice/virt type vboxsf (rw,nodev,relatime)
ice@distantstar:~/virt 
? cat /etc/fstab | grep virt
VIRT    /home/ice/virt  vboxsf rw   0   0
