[Nix-dev] VirtualBox 5.0 guest additions versus Vagrant 1.7.4 - shared filesystem not mounting

[Christian Theune]

Hi,

I managed to spend some time on NixOS w/ Vagrant today and was experimenting with images for 15.07pre. I noticed that the VirtualBox additions have been upgraded, but I’m (=Vagrant) unable to mount the shared file system. The kernel shows this:

[  419.486514] sf_read_super_aux err=-22

The change was added here:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/29993682a27f1ce33668879ea52084caae1ed08b <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/29993682a27f1ce33668879ea52084caae1ed08b>

@aszlig: did you notice something weird about the shared filesystem stuff? Any pointers?

It appears this is a general issue with VBox that their guest drivers are kinda picky and having Vagrant in the mix also seems to complicate this. Leaky abstractions galore!

Cheers,
Christian
