I am having an issue where changes on my host machine are not reflected immediately on the VM filesystem. This makes it especially difficult when commit code - the VM will only recognize a subset of changes.
I can force the VM to recognize the changes to files by running `touch /vagrant/path/to/file` but that's not really a good solution. Has anyone else seen this problem before?
Sometimes the lag between when the change is made on the host until it is reflected on the VM filesystem can be measured in minutes.
I originally suspected a time/ntp issue, but I have ensured that the host and the VM times are set correctly, and stay in sync.
Anyone else run across this?

Hello,
Not sure what virtualization are you using, but that is typical what you see with Virtualbox filesystem.
I am afraid that due not being a real filesystem, the guest have those problems with files that change often.
What OS are you using on both, host and guest?
Thanks,
Alvaro.

The host is OSX (10.10.1) and the VM OS is Centos5.

Hello,
Try NFS.
the only restriction that I am aware of, is to not share nested path
say on one VM
/path/projects/
and in other
/path/projects/project_awesome
other than that, it should work.

We are using NFS, rather than VBFS.
In our Vagrant file, we have the following:
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", :nfs => conf['nfs'], :nfs_version => "3,nolock,udp"
