vagrant long provisioning fails with: Broken pipe - send(2) (Errno::EPIPE)

[Kyle McChesney]

I have a vagrant managed VirtualBox which is being provisioned with Salt using the masterless config. The provisioning stage takes quite a long time due to some large files which must be downloaded and setup on the VM. I keep getting the following stack trace from vagrant up / vagrant provision:

I suspect what is happening is simply a drop in the SSH connection between vagrant and the VM. I was just wondering if anyone else has ran into this before and had any solutions. I was thinking there should be someway to run the provision process in screen or something similar. I suspect that it would be difficult for vagrant to know when salt was done.

I am on OSX 10.12.6, using vagrant version 1.9.7 and VirtualBox version 5.0.32r112930.

My VM is based on a CentOS 6.7 box (built with packer)

[Alvaro Miranda Aguilera]

Hello

If you have virtualbox additions installed, you should see /vagrant mounted in the vm.

the current directory in the host where the vagrantfile is  is mounted on /vagrant

so if the files are in files/ then you can see those in /vagrant/files

If you use that, then you won't need copy the files

hope this helps

Alvaro

Also, by default vagrant will set a port forward using virtualbox.

if you really need to use ssh/scp/sfp the best is setup a private network and use that ip, it behaves better

but the shared folder is the way to go to share files between host and guest
