Description
Hi Team,
I get this error when trying to start a vbox with vagrant:-
Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module. Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was: mount -t vboxsf -o uid=999,gid=999 rsr /rsr
this was working fine in vbox 5.1.18, but does not work in any version of vagrant (tried 1.9.1 -> 1.9.4). Here's the vagrant file (relevant bits only...)
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config| config.vm.define :capture do |node| name = 'myvm' bootstrap_vm(name, node) node.vm.synced_folder Dir.pwd + '/..', "/operations", :create => true if Dir.exists? (Dir.pwd + '/../../rsr') node.vm.synced_folder Dir.pwd + '/../../rsr', "/rsr", :create => true end
and
def bootstrap_linux(name, node) node.vm.box = '<url>' node.ssh.username = 'vagrant' node.ssh.private_key_path = '.vagrant-ssh/vagrant' node.ssh.forward_agent = true node.vm.hostname = name node.vm.provider 'virtualbox' do |vb| vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--cpus', 2] vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--memory', 4096] vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--audio', 'none'] vb.gui = false # Linux workarounds for vbox network problems (1..8).each do |i| vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, "--nictype#{i}", 'virtio'] vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, "--natdnshostresolver#{i}", 'off'] vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, "--natdnsproxy#{i}", 'off'] vb.customize ['modifyvm', :id, "--nicpromisc#{i}", 'allow-all'] end end end
please find a way to make the shared folders work with vagrant (again...)
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Sorry, I don't understand all that vagrant stuff but please keep in mind that the 5.1.20 Guest Additions for Linux have a regression: The mount.vboxsf command is a dangling symlink and therefore mount.vboxsf does not work. This is fixed in the most recent 5.1.x test build. See also #16670.
