M1Max Vagrant box cannot mount shared folders

[ilxqx]

When I saw that Alma supports the arm64 parallel vagrant box, I was very happy, so I started to experience it.

Everything went smoothly, except for a problem with the shared directory:

Vagrant was unable to mount Parallels Desktop shared folders. This is usually
because the filesystem "prl_fs" is not available. This filesystem is
made available via the Parallels Tools and kernel module.
Please verify that these guest tools 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 prl_fs -o uid=1000,gid=1000,_netdev vagrant /vagrant

The error output from the command was:

mount: /vagrant: unknown filesystem type 'prl_fs'.

I am not sure if there is a problem inside the Vagrant box, so I am seeking help here. Can you help me?

Hi,

Thanks for reporting. Please open an issue on https://github.com/AlmaLinux/cloud-images repository.

Thanks!

Moved this from the wiki to the /cloud-images repo, for better visibility!

I was planing to ask to create a new one in cloud-images and close the wiki one. Thanks for migrating!

Hi, It's expected because we don't include the Parallels Tools in our vagrant boxes. We don't know yet whether it's legally permitted or not, will update this issue once we find out.
