16709	vbox guet additions 5.1.20 shared file system not backwards compatible with 5.1.18 via vagrant	jungle dave		"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
