support for additional disk

[ghost]

It would be nice to be able to attach an additional disk to the VM with something like:

config.vm.customize ['storageattach'...

for vagrant or

ec2-create-volume 

for EC2 or ...

[anodelman]

This sounds like a small patch for vagrant - would it just be the ability to pass through an additional variable/setting to the vagrant file? Could you give me a sample of how the vagrant file would look when correctly configured?

[ghost]

@anodelman I don't know much about vagrant, sorry :-)

An example of a complete vagrant file would look like

Vagrant.configure("2") do |c|
  c.vm.define 'first' do |v|
    v.vm.hostname = 'first'
    v.vm.box = 'ubuntu-server-12042-x64-vbox4210-nocm'
    v.vm.box_url = 'http://puppet-vagrant-boxes.puppetlabs.com/ubuntu-server-12042-x64-vbox4210-nocm.box'
    v.vm.network :private_network, :ip => '10.11.12.2'
    v.vm.provider 'virtualbox' do |prov, override|
    prov.customize ['modifyvm', :id, '--macaddress1','0800271016FA']
 prov.customize ['createhd', '--filename', '/tmp/sparediskfirst', '--size', 10240]
 prov.customize ['storageattach', :id, '--storagectl', 'SATA Controller', '--port', 1, '--device', 0, '--type', 'hdd', '--medium', '/tmp/sparediskfirst.vdi']
    end
  end
end

I haven't used additional disk for vagrant... is the disk shared amongst all vagrant boxes defined in the Vagrantfile? Or is it a new disk per instance? I'll keep poking around online to find out, but if anyone has the answer quicker than that I'd appreciate it.

One disk for one specific instance, not a disk shared between instances.

In PR, #303

This just covers vagrant support. I think that we should split out requests for additional disk by hypervisor.

[anodelman]

vagrant support for additional disk in #303.

Please file further issues for support for additional hypervisors.
