What's missing to merge this one?

[julien-duponchelle]

This require user to be root isn't it? In this case i'm not sure if we can merge this.

Assuming the user has sudo privileges, it may prompt for password, not a problem. There are ways to customize the sudoers file so you don't need to even do that. See https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/synced-folders/nfs.html

The virtual machine with the docker daemon is now running.
When you are finished and want to shut it down, just run:

  docker-osx halt

To use docker, point the DOCKER_HOST environment variable
to the docker daemon running on the virtual machine:

  eval `docker-osx env`

Put this in your .profile to make it permanent.

Then, just use the docker command from OS X directly.

Why would we use NFS for shared folders?

GlusterFS, http://www.gluster.org iRODS (Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System), http://wiki.irods.org http://www.gluster.org/ OpenStack Swift, https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Swift ... etc. iRODS is what was General Atomics (GA.com) Nirvana which was previously SRB (Storage Resource Broker) and it was brought to market in 1995. That, in 1995, came about from developments at San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) from the early 80's I believe but have not double-checked or cited source on that :). Anyway, iRODS is totally open source and has connectors for HDFS, blah blah blah everything you can imagine.

Build one for a stupid docker little bull-shit disk thingy and hook it all up. It'll be great.

:+1: Michell Hashimoto did a thorough analysis of filesystem performance in VBox and VMware. tl;dr is that VBox performs much better with NFS.

[julien-duponchelle]

Perhaps a good solution can be to ask if user want to use NFS. We are doing that for the /etc/hosts

Something like that:

Use NFS for shared folders? (Faster, but require sudo rights): [Y/n]

Will filesystem events still fire? I would hate to lose the benefit of doing watchdog like running of dev servers...
