synced_folder gives Text file busy error

[MarvinT]

using the code

import tempfile

p = '/home/vagrant'

t = tempfile.TemporaryFile(dir=p)
t.write('1')
t.close()

when /home/vagrant is a synced _folder gives the error

OSError: [Errno 26] Text file busy: '/home/vagrant/tmpRvC0sG'

but not when p is a non synced_folder

I have the same problem.

My configuration:

• VirtualBox 4.2.18
• Vagrant 1.3.3
• Windows 7 x64 (Host)
• Ubuntu 12.04LTS (Guest)
• synced '/var/www' folder

I'm trying to create a site with LocomotiveCMS. But I get this error:

Error compiling CSS asset

Shared folders are missing some critical features that make some low level things lke renames and linking work properly. This usually happens when the host is Windows because Windows is very aggressive about file usage.

What this basically means is that that file handle is being held by some process on the Windows host.

This isn't a Vagrant issue because Vagrant can't do much about it. VirtualBox MIGHT be able to but I'm not sure, but that is closer to the issue source anyways.

Future googlers: it's probably something with the sass gem post 3.2.10 https://github.com/nex3/sass (via Rails app on percise32 vagrant box - assets get “text file busy” error (Errno::ETXTBSY))

factormystic is correct, downgrading to 3.2.9 fixes this problem.
