Vagrant box broken after sleep/shutdown

[pkruithof]

This has happened several times now, the scenario is as follows: I create/provision a vagrant box (with puppet). I work on it for some time, a couple of days, sometimes a week. At the end of my day I either close the lid on my MacBook (putting it to sleep), or I shut it down. At a certain point, vagrant up gives an error:

[default] Mounting shared folders...
[default] -- v-root: /vagrant
The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

mkdir -p /vagrant

Provisioning, reloading, halt/up all don't work at this point. I have to destroy and build the box again, which costs some time and becomes very annoying.

I found this post which describes this problem, and states a ntp service should fix it. So I've added that to my puppet config, but the problem still occurs.

Issue #672 looks similar, but I'm running Ubuntu and not CentOS, so it's not the same issue.

The debug log is saved as a gist: https://gist.github.com/pkruithof/5116426

This is super weird. I'm unable to reproduce this myself and the debug log isn't telling me much anything useful :( I could use more info here if anyone can get it.

[pkruithof]

Is there something I can do to provide more debugging information?

[mitchellh]

If you run mkdir -p /vagrant yourself in the box it is fine?

Could this be related to the issue I've described in this blog post: http://blog.suxx.pl/2013/03/post-mortem-chasing-elusive-bugs.html

@mitchellh I'm not experiencing the issue right now, but I have tried that before and yes, that works. The problem seems to be ssh-related, not the filesystem.

I've not been able to reproduce this but I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else, so Im' going to close this until I can get more info or more interest. Sorry!

That's ok, I kind of forgot about the issue. I did experience it again a couple of times since, but I just destroyed and upped the box when it happened. Which is kind of the point of Vagrant I assume 😉
