Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders

Question

Current setup: Virtualbox 5.1.20 with Vagrant 1.9.3

Previous working setup: Virtualbox 5.1.18 with Vagrant 1.9

Answer 1

For me, the problem was fixed under the following conditions:

Environment:

• VirtualBox version 6.0.4r128413
• Vagrant version 2.2.3

Steps:

Go to your project directory from the terminal or command line (cd) and run the following commands:

1. vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest to install the Vagrant VB Guest Plugin

2. vagrant up

If you get an error regarding vboxsf not being available. Then maybe your VirtualBox Guest Additions are not installed properly. Hopefully, the commands below will fix your problem.

vagrant ssh
sudo yum -y install kernel-devel
sudo yum update -y
exit
vagrant halt
vagrant up --provision
