[redis] Mounting shared folders... | |
[redis] -- v-root: /vagrant | |
[redis] -- v-csr-3: /tmp/vagrant-chef-1/chef-solo-3/roles | |
The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. | |
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed! | |
mount -t vboxsf -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`id -g vagrant` v-csr-3 /tmp/vagrant-chef-1/chef-solo-3/roles | |
$ | |
and if you ssh in to the vm: | |
vagrant@redis:~$ sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`id -g vagrant` v-csr-3 /tmp/vagrant-chef-1/chef-solo-3/roles | |
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error | |
I had the warning about version mismatch of Guest Additions: | |
[default] The guest additions on this VM do not match the install version of | |
VirtualBox! This may cause things such as forwarded ports, shared | |
folders, and more to not work properly. If any of those things fail on | |
this machine, please update the guest additions and repackage the | |
box. | |
Guest Additions Version: 4.2.0 | |
VirtualBox Version: 4.2.8 | |
Much of the advice online related to this error message (eg in the | |
Vagrant docs http://docs.vagrantup.com/v1/docs/troubleshooting.html) | |
centres around installing/re-installing a compatible version of the | |
Guest Additons. | |
This was not the problem. | |
Some other advice suggests it's maybe something to do with hostname | |
(https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=40918) and I was using | |
https://github.com/BerlinVagrant/vagrant-dns so I thought I could have | |
a problem there. | |
This was not the problem. | |
In the end I tracked it down: I had wrong path to my Chef roles (and | |
cookbooks etc) in the Vagrantfile eg here: | |
config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef| | |
chef.cookbooks_path = ["kitchen/cookbooks","kitchen/site-cookbooks"] | |
chef.roles_path = "kitchen/roles" | |
chef.data_bags_path = "kitchen/data_bags" | |
Let's have a look at that error message again: | |
vagrant@redis:~$ sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`id -g vagrant` v-csr-3 /tmp/vagrant-chef-1/chef-solo-3/roles | |
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error | |
Yes, it's entirely my fault, but also... thanks for nothing!!! |
This also solved my problem. Thanks for this!
I did not understand
When I run the command I get:
-sh: getent: not found
gid= requires an argument (i.e. gid==<arg>)
mount: mounting vagrant on /vagrant failed: Protocol error
I'm using a custom boot2docker and I trying to use it on Windows
