virtualbox-iso: Timeout while waiting for machine to shut down. about packer-centos-7 HOT 9 CLOSED

I haven't run into this issue—I just rebuilt all my boxes two days ago, too. Can you reproduce the timeout, or was this just a one-time thing?

from packer-centos-7.

Also, are you on the latest version of VirtualBox?

from packer-centos-7.

Yup, latest VirtualBox for MacOS: Version 5.0.10 r104061

I updated the original description to add one other check I did:
Increased shutdown_timeout to 10m. No change.

I can recreate it every time right now with my desired playbook.
I will try to strip the playbook way down and see if I can isolate anything.

from packer-centos-7.

I was able to avoid the issue with a trimmed down playbook!

I'll run a few more build cycles to see if I can isolate anything before closing this.

The playbook that worked is essentially:

- hosts: all
  sudo: yes
  gather_facts: yes
  vars:
    # VERY low buffer pool to handle running on small Vagrant-run VMs, etc
    mysql_innodb_buffer_pool_size: 32M

  roles:
    - role: common
      tags: common
    #
    # - role: nfs
    #   tags: build
    #
    # - role: packer-rhel
    #   tags: build

Now adding back nfs and packer-rhel.

Sounds good. Something must be limiting the ability of the machine to shut down :(

FYI, this also worked (using your nfs and packer-rhel roles)...

- hosts: all
  sudo: yes
  gather_facts: yes
  vars:
    # VERY low buffer pool to handle running on small Vagrant-run VMs, etc
    mysql_innodb_buffer_pool_size: 32M

  roles:
    - role: common
      tags: common

    - role: nfs
      tags: build

    - role: packer-rhel
      tags: build

I narrowed it down to the installation of MySQL (client and server).
Using: Percona Server version: 5.6.27-76.0

Everything else in my standard LEMP playbook worked perfectly.

I took a good build with everything except mysql installed, vagrant upd to run the mysql roles, logged in, and attempted to halt the VM.

At this point, I was logged out, but the VM didn't shut down.

Trying to vagrant ssh in again gives:

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

It seems to be hung like this. Still investigating.

I eventually gave up on this. I'll close the issue for now and update it down the road if I get past it or figure out anything new.

@stevenscg - Sounds good. Thanks for keeping at it!
