Bug#910143: cloud.debian.org: Increase vagrant disk size
Hi,
I wonder if it's really so useful to be prepared like this for a change
of hypervisor.
Of course, it's a nice feature, but you trade in at least this
disadvantage of not being able to resize the virtual disk out-of-the-box
(ie, without converting it again, which makes it a bit pointless to use
Vagrant because it's somewhat "external" to it.). OTOH, VirtualBox could
export virtual appliances itself, if needed.
Unfortunately I cannot test with qemu :-( for some time - sorry!
So what software I am using? Well - it's a docker registry and a
node/npm registry. The problem is, it's running in VirtualBox on
Windows. /vagrant, as well as additional data directories are very
useful, but only help a bit. It became unsuitable as soon as there had
to be some changes in ownership or file access mode, and of course if
there are (symbolic) links. VirtualBox/NTFS doesn't map these features
correctly.
Best regards
Ulf
