Workaround for "Medium access timeout failure. Offlining disk!" on Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 running on Vagrant.

Copy 99-vagrant.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/, then reboot or run udevadm trigger --action=add --subsystem-match=scsi or run echo 180 > /sys/block/sda/device/timeout

I had this problem too and your commands above definitely fix it. Any idea why it's necessary @rmarchei? Is it just a bug that Ubuntu needs to fix?
