Default "/vagrant" Shared Folder missing from generic/arch, roboxes/arch #190

Closed iocouto closed 2 years ago

iocouto commented 3 years ago

The standard /vagrant sync shared folder is not setup for Arch Linux - neither when using the generic/arch nor roboxes/arch, on VirtualBox. 

$ vagrant init generic/arch
$ vagrant up
[...]
$ vagrant ssh
[vagrant@arch ~]$ ls -A /
bin   dev  home  lib64       mnt  proc  run   srv  tmp  var
boot  etc  lib   lost+found  opt  root  sbin  sys  usr

No 'vagrant' folder...

For comparison, using archlinux/archlinux:

$ vagrant init archlinux/archlinux
$ vagrant up
[...]
$ vagrant ssh
[vagrant@archlinux ~]$ ls -A /
bin   dev  home  lib64  opt   root  sbin  swap  tmp  vagrant
boot  etc  lib   mnt    proc  run   srv   sys   usr  var

The /vagrant folder being present in a box is not required since it's just an arbitrary path. Creating that folder is handled by Vagrant itself when something tries to mount there.

I feel like you missed the essence of the issue. /vagrant isn't being mounted - I'm seeing the same thing. On VMware, so it's not VirtualBox specific

I have tested this on libvirt and VirtualBox, and everything seems to work as expected.

After creating a new Vagrantfile, no folder and no mount is present.

After you add the shared folder to the Vagrantfile, the folder gets created automatically and the directory from the host is mounted inside.

Might be VMware specific then. But then I don't know what the original person who opened the ticket did wrong, since they are using virtualbox.

I have since resolved my problem, one needs to manually pass enableSharedFolders (once) to the VM with a VMware cli tool, since the vagrant VMware plugin fails to do so

Looks like the problem has been fixed. Closing.
