Unable to re-start or reload VM

[pa...@hollyer.me.uk]

Hi All,

I dipped my toes into Vagrant and Puppet a few years ago, but never went much further than a little experimentation.

I now want to use Vagrant to provision a couple of VM's on my Office server, but am having the following problem:

If I 

vagrant up

initially, the box boots up and is provisioned according to bootstrap.sh and I can ssh in to the VM and work as expected.

If I subsequently

vagrant reload --provision

then I get the following error:

Failed to mount folders in Linux guest. This is usually because

the "vboxsf" file system is not available. Please verify that

the guest additions are properly installed in the guest and

can work properly. The command attempted was:

mount -t vboxsf -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`getent group vagrant | cut -d: -f3` vagrant /vagrant

mount -t vboxsf -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`id -g vagrant` vagrant /vagrant

The error output from the last command was:

/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device

The only way I can seem to resolve this, is to delete the VM files manually in VirtualBox.

Surely, I should be able to update the provisioning file, and provision multiple times?

I've looked around, and found posts with a similar issue, but nothing seems to relate to my particular problem.

I"ve attached my Vagrant file, and also bootstrap.sh and I'm happy to attach more info, if you tell me what you need.

My environment is as follow:

OSX: 10.11.4

vagrant: 1.8.1

VirtualBox: 5.0.16 r105871

Thanks to anyone who can help, and I'll add any additional info if you tell me what to supply.

Thanks

Paul

hello,

Thats because your script is upgrading kernel, and on next boot the vboxsf driver is not loading.

2 options.

a. Do not upgrade kernel.

b. recompile the vbox drivers after reboot.

for b, you can install plugin vbguest and will take care of that.

Alvaro.

Hi Alvaro,

Installing vbguest did the trick.

Many thanks

Paul
