vagrantu up crashes with "vboxsf is not available" on Windows 10 about packer-centos-7 HOT 11 CLOSED

It could be the guest additions. I just updated the box to use Guest Additions 5.1.14.

Either upgrade VirtualBox to 5.1.14, or try installing vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest.

I ran into this same issue and this related issue has a solution using a FixGuestAdditions ruby class in the Vagrantfile to correct the kernel-devel that causes this problem to occur.

@njappboy - Did that solution fix the problem for you?

@geerlingguy Installing vagrant-vbguest solved my problem. But it is of course nicer to have it working out of the box so that you don't have to add plugins to the installation list (Vagrant + Virtualbox).

Awesome, and yeah, it would be nice to not have to install that plugin—however it is impossible for me to identify the version of VirtualBox installed and make the right box version get downloaded. Since the share requires the Guest Additions, and every new version of VirtualBox potentially breaks the older Guest Additions, the best solution is to (a) always update to the newest box version and VirtualBox, and (b) have the vagrant-vbguest plugin installed (just to be safe).

Thanks for the information..i was facing the same issue and it solved my problem too.

from packer-centos-7.

Installing plugin didn't solve the problem for me. I did updated everything to latest version.

OS: Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.16299 (Build 16299)
Virtual Box: 5.2.12 r122591 (Qt5.6.2)
Vagrant: 2.1.2
Plugin: vagrant-vbguest (0.15.2)

Vagrantfile Sync Folder Config
config.vm.synced_folder "vagrant_data", "/vagrant_data"

Output from vagrant up command (copying relevant part only):

==> default: Rsyncing folder: /cygdrive/c/Users/XXX/Documents/XXX/Vagrant/centos-7-ansible/ => /vagrant

Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually
because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is
made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module.
Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the
guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty
Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:

mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 vagrant_data /vagrant_data

The error output from the command was:

/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device

Please suggest solution.

Thank you. vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest worked for me.

Also please try updating to the latest box version (try vagrant box update) if you're using the geerlingguy/centos7 box.
