Locating the shared folder

[Patrick Bass]

Hi,

I'm using Vagrant for the first time and I had to read many tutorials before I can be able to set up Vagrant in VirtualBox of my Windows 7 OS. Now, after trying to run the command "mv main/ /vagrant" so that I can have a look to /main folder I previously retrieved from cloning a repository via git, this error message is being returned: "permission denied, cannot move 'main/' to '/vagrant'". I tried to run ''ls -ld /vagrant", it returned: "ls: cannot access /vagrant: No such file or directory". Could it be that the shared folder between windows and Vagrant isn't /Vagrant? If so, how can I locate that folder? Any suggestions, please? 

Thanks

hello,

seems your guest is on linux

Assuming your Vagrantfile hasn't disabled this folder, then you can
check the mount point like:

mount
or
df

If the /vagrant mountpoint has stalled.. a vagrant reload should fix it.

Thanks Alvaro for taking time to answer. Actually I'm a newbie both on Linux and Vagrant, so could you please clarify your answer? Do you mean that I should run those that seem to me as commands, if so please provide the entire commands if you don't mind. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Can you paste here your Vagrantfile?


The commands you need to run that I did suggest were:

vagrant ssh
sudo df -h
sudo mount

you can paste that result here too

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for the info

Well, the /vagrant is not mounted, this can be by several reasons. One
of them is in some new kenels are some issues, with vmware tools, and
a long etc.

So, can you test this box:

mkdir precise64
cd precise64
vagrant init -m hashicorp/precise64
vagrant up

Can you share the outlog log in a gist (gist.github.com) and repeat
the same commands?

If the commands works as I expect, my recommendation will be test
other ubuntu box, or create your very own with packer (packer.io)

Thanks
Alvaro.

You can also use 'lsmod | grep vm' and if it doesn't return the vmhgfs module with a count higher than 0 (or it doesn't show up) then Alvaro is correct and it hasn't loaded the driver/module correctly. This is frequently an issue if you are using newer than 3.13.0-37 of the Linux kernel, they made some minor changes there that broke the VMware Tools installs horribly.
