Thin provisioning on Boxes

[Rajganesh Pandurangan]

I'm new to Vagant. Is it possible to configure thin provisioning when using public boxes so it doesn't use my entire disk space. I have NVME M.2 and i want to create a lot of boxes without using disk space. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Raj

Hi Raj,

using "linked clones" is probably what you are looking for. 

I have this enabled for all my boxes via the global Vagrantfile:

$ cat ~/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile

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

  # always use linked clones

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|

    v.linked_clone = true

  end

  config.vm.provider "vmware_fusion" do |v|

    v.linked_clone = true

  end

end

Cheers,

 Torben
