Did you ever find a better work around for this? I'm trying to do the same
thing (mainly to prevent collisions if I want to have 2 VMs up at the same
time).
My initial thought was to do the following:
config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
vb.customize ['createhd', '--filename', "#{:id}-drive2.vdi", '--size', 5
* 1024]
vb.customize ['storageattach', :id, '--storagectl', 'SCSI Controller',
'--port', 1, '--device', 0, '--type', 'hdd', '--medium',
"#{:id}-drive2.vdi']
end
Unfortunately, :id is being interpolated as "id" when this happens.
