Vagrant 2.2.6 sync folders doesn't work on CentOS 7 using VirtualBox

[Stack Bugs]

Vagrant version: 2.2.6

Virtualbox Version: 6.0.14

Host OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.6

VM OS: CentOS 7 (1905.1)

Vagrant Addon: vagrant-vbguest 0.20

I have a virtual machine setup but sync folders with virtualbox doesn't work. Anyone with similar issues or a solution to help? Thank you in advance.

Below is the Vagrantfile used.

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  config.vm.box = "centos/7"

  config.vm.hostname = "CentOS"

  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080,

    auto_correct: true

  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080, host_ip: "127.0.0.1"

  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", type: "virtualbox"

  # Ansible Provisioning

  config.vm.provision "ansible" do |ansible|

    ansible.playbook = "ansible/dev_setup.yml"

  end

end

I have also attached the VBox.log files, if it will help.

synced_folder's can be really inconsistent with the type: "virtualbox". As you are figuring out it only does the initial sync and then doesn't update anything afterwards.

I am recursively generating my shared folders, based on a yaml file. However, the original link is in the comments and  this works as you'd expect

      # Vagrant was having an issues with mounting folders on vagrant reload
      # Folders would mount but would be empty with type: "virtual-box".
      # I changed the default to nfs based on this recommendation
      # https://blog.theodo.com/2017/07/speed-vagrant-synced-folders/
      folders = instance["folders"] ? default_folders | instance["folders"] : default_folders
      folders.map.with_index do |itm, index|
        remote.vm.synced_folder , itm["dest"],
          id: itm["src"].match(/[^\/]*$/)[0] + "-#{index}",
          create: true,
          automount: true,
          type: "nfs",
          mount_options: ['rw', 'vers=3', 'tcp'],
          linux__nfs_options: ['rw','no_subtree_check','all_squash','async']
      end
