This means that using things like Vagrant, with a project that uses node/npm, is blocked by VirtualBox because node module dependencies (but also just any deeply nested software project being tested in a virtualbox VM) end up having paths that are longer than the standard 260 character limit. Somewhere, VirtualBox is not communicating the correct error from host to guest OS; it would be extremely useful if this was solved somehow (allowing UNC paths by default? perhaps something else altogether)",defect,new,other,VirtualBox 4.2.16,,,,Linux,Windows
