vagrant on WSL - multiple folders under ~/VirtualBox VMs

[vadbes46]

After updating from 2.0.3 vagrant creates multiple folders when creating only one VM: The first folder has the name of a box and inside there is *.vmdk (virtual disk) with the same name The second contains all VMs staff

Suppose that during vagrant up when the box has been imported it should be placed inside a folder with all VMs things, but remains standalone Nevertheless everything is working fine because .vbox points to correct locations.

Vagrant version

Vagrant 2.1.0

Host operating system

WSL

Guest operating system

ubuntu server 16, CenOs7

Vagrantfile

no matter of my vagrant file contents, no matter what box to use

Expected behavior

The vm should have all its files inside one folder

to be more clear let me show the directory structure of 2 individual VMs

and those VMs running:

What version of virtualbox are you using, and did you recently upgrade virtualbox?

[chrisroberts]

Would you also please provide a minimal version of the Vagrantfile you are using which produces this result. Thanks!

Thanks for quick reply

This is 5.2.10 clean install, tried on several machines There is no problem with vagrant shipped for Windows (.exe), only for vagrant in WSL (I mean .deb)

Some time later will provide vagrant file

Thanks & Regards, Vadim

Here is an example:

need_restart = false
required_plugins = %w(vagrant-vbguest nugrant vagrant-cachier vagrant-hostmanager vagrant-disksize vagrant-bindfs)
required_plugins.each do |plugin|
  unless Vagrant.has_plugin? plugin
    system "vagrant plugin install #{plugin}"
    need_restart = true
  end
end
exec "vagrant #{ARGV.join' '}" if need_restart

# configure VM

BTW, after last vagrant update I leave only those env vars:

export VAGRANT_WSL_ENABLE_WINDOWS_ACCESS="1"
export VAGRANT_HOME="/home/vadbes46/.vagrant.d"

and vbox is installed directly in Windows (not .deb)
