[Bug 1565985] Re: vagrant vb ubuntu/xenial64 cannot mount synced folders

[Vishal Kotcherlakota]

I can confirm, this is broken in v20160822.0.0. I tried rolling back to
v20160805.0.0, but that also seems to fail.

ubuntu at ubuntu-xenial:~$ modinfo vboxguest
filename:       /lib/modules/4.4.0-34-generic/kernel/ubuntu/vbox/vboxguest/vboxguest.ko
version:        5.0.18_Ubuntu

I'm currently on VirtualBox Version 5.1.4 r110228. I'm able to fix this
by downloading v5.1.4 guest additions from here:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.1.4/

Note, you'll need to install the following packages in order to compile the guest additions:
* gcc
* build-essentials
* linuz-headers-$(uname-a) // your architecture here

  vagrant vb ubuntu/xenial64 cannot mount synced folders

Status in cloud-images:
  In Progress
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I am unable to fully provision  a xenial instance using box
      ubuntu/xenial64               (virtualbox, 20160403.0.0)
  because the synced folders are never mounted.

  VAGRANT_LOG=DEBUG vagrant init --debug indicates that there was an error mounting the filesystem
      mount: unknown filesystem type 'vboxsf'

  I am using
      VirtualBox 5.0.16 r105871
      vagrant 1.8.1

  While init/provision fails, the instance is brought up. I can get into
  it and see it runs. It doesn't appear that Virtualbox Guest Additions
  is installed. I can see that my installation of VB does have
  VBoxGuestAdditions.iso and is readable.
