No space left on 32bit Vagrant Box

[festradasolano]

I don't know if this issue is already fixed, but I'm going to expose it.

After completely downloading and starting the 32bit VM, I got the following error in the end:

The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!
cat /tmp/vagrant-network-interfaces.pre /tmp/vagrant-network-entry /tmp/vagrant-network-interfaces.post > /etc/network/interfaces
Stdout from the command:
Stderr from the command:
stdin: is not a tty
cat: write error: No space left on device

I fixed it with the following steps:

• Shutdown the VM:
  youruser@yourpc:~$ vagrant halt

• Run VM from VirtualBox GUI and log as:
  User: vagrant Password: vagrant

• Check disk space usage. Look that it shows 100% of Use% for /dev/sda1
  vagrant@coursera-sdn:~$ df -h

  Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  /dev/sda1        40G   40G     0 100% /
  ...
  ...
  vagrant         290G   47G  243G  17% /vagrant/
  

• Remove an EMPTY file created (I'm still wondering why?)
  vagrant@coursera-sdn:~$ sudo rm /EMPTY

• Check disk space usage again. Loos that Use% for /dev/sda1 is not 100%.
  vagrant@coursera-sdn:~$ df -h

  Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  /dev/sda1        40G  1.7G   37G   5% /
  ...
  ...
  vagrant         290G   47G  243G  17% /vagrant/
  

• Set network interfaces. As the root user, edit /etc/network/interfaces file and save it.
  vagrant@coursera-sdn:~$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
  # The primary network interface
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet dhcp
  # Host-only interface
  auto eth1
  iface eth1 inet static
      address         192.168.0.100
      netmask         255.255.255.0
      network         192.168.0.0
      broadcast       192.168.0.255
  

• Shutdown the VM.
  vagrant@coursera-sdn:~$ sudo shutdown -h now

• Start VM again with vagrant in the Coursera-SDN directory. Check SSH and shared folder.
  youruser@yourpc:~/git/Coursera-SDN$ vagrant up
youruser@yourpc:~/git/Coursera-SDN$ vagrant ssh
vagrant@coursera-sdn:~$ ls /vagrant/

Maybe one followed this guide to create a new box.

According to the guide you should execute this commands:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/EMPTY bs=1M
sudo rm -f /EMPTY

That writes zeros into every free sector. That should make compression of the box easier.
Maybe the creator of the box forgot to run the second command leaving a big file on the vm which takes every free disk space (That actually just happened to myself).
