Hi all,
The computers on our network each have a user network drive attached to Z,
which windows considers to be the home drive.
I am having trouble with vagrant ignoring the VM directory set in
virtualbox ("D:\Virtualbox VMs") and creating new VMs in "Z:\Virtualbox
VMs" and a new ".VirtualBox" config folder in Z: drive. The original config
folder is in "C:\Users\[username]\".
Whenever I start vagrant, it seems to MOSTLY start the one in Z but
ocasionally starts the one in D, causing me confusion about which one I'm
using. I only noticed because I was sure I had installed a program on a VM,
but when I next started it, it didn't exist.
Here’s what I did to investigate:
Uninstalled VB. Deleted conf folders from both Z and user folder
Installed and started VB. Changed VM folder to D. Created test VM. Closed
and reopened several times. VB correctly used VM in D and created conf
folder only in user folder.
Started vagrant. VB created new conf folder in Z and created VMs in Z.
Uninstalled both VB and Vagrant. Deleted all conf folders for both.
Installed and started VB. Changed VM folder to D. Created test VM. Closed
and reopened several times. VB correctly used VM in D and created conf
folder only in user folder.
Started vagrant. VB created new conf folder in Z and created VMs in Z.
Vagrant seems to make some kind of assumption no matter what the settings
are. I cannot find anything in any vagrant file that tells it to use the Z
path. There may be some way to set up but I can’t see it.
Update 1: I deleted my Z drive and restarted everything. It has not created
any new VB config folders and it has put the VMs in the correct place on D.
VB behaves differently depending on what started it up. If I start the GUI
up myself, it's using the conf from my home folder. If vagrant is already
running a vm and I start the GUI, it is using the Z conf folder.
Update 2: I restarted my machine and restored the Z: drive. I started up
vagrant and it again created NEW duplicate VMs and conf folder in the Z
drive. So I have two workarounds:
Remove the Z drive permanently
Set both conf files to use the Z drive location for VMs and hope it doesn't
create further duplicates elsewhere
I have decided to remove the Z drive for now as it's not vital and I can
assign it as a folder link rather than a lettered drive anyway.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas?
Thanks
Simon
