Vagrant error :NFS is reporting that your exports file is invalid

Vagrant error :NFS is reporting that your exports file is invalid

==> default: Exporting NFS shared folders...
NFS is reporting that your exports file is invalid. Vagrant does
this check before making any changes to the file. Please correct
the issues below and execute "vagrant reload":

exports:2: path contains non-directory or non-existent components: /Users/<username>/path/to/vagrant
exports:2: no usable directories in export entry
exports:2: using fallback (marked offline): /
exports:5: path contains non-directory or non-existent components: /Users/<username>/path/to/vagrant
exports:5: no usable directories in export entry
exports:5: using fallback (marked offline): /

This means that you may already have old vagrant path definitions in your /etc/exports file.

Try opening up /etc/exports file to identify old or unwanted vagrant paths and removing them if necessary

On opening /etc/exports file each set begins with # VAGRANT-BEGIN: and ends with # VAGRANT-END:. Make sure to delete these and any other lines between VAGRANT-BEGIN: and VAGRANT-END:

or maybe

sudo rm /etc/exports
sudo touch /etc/exports

vagrant halt
vagrant up

I'm getting exports errors as well:

NFS is reporting that your exports file is invalid

exports:3: exported dir/fs mismatch: /Users /System/Volumes/Data

However, when I try to edit the /etc/exports file, there is nothing in there with VAGRANT-BEGIN or VAGRANT-END.

Any ideas what I should do?

Facing same issue as @paoga87.
@paoga87, did you upgrade to Catalina recently?

I did, @korpekalyani and this may very well have to do with it.
