vagrant halt fails with hotplug error

[2opremio]

$ vagrant halt
==> default: Attempting graceful shutdown of VM...
    default: Guest communication could not be established! This is usually because
    default: SSH is not running, the authentication information was changed,
    default: or some other networking issue. Vagrant will force halt, if
    default: capable.
==> default: ** Detaching persistent storage **
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

These are the options I am using (ubuntu/xenial64 box)

  config.persistent_storage.enabled = true
  config.persistent_storage.location = "~/home-vagrant/build.vdi"
  config.persistent_storage.size = 20000
  config.persistent_storage.mountname = 'build'
  config.persistent_storage.filesystem = 'ext4'
  config.persistent_storage.mountpoint = '/mnt/build'
  config.persistent_storage.volgroupname = 'myvolgroup'
  config.persistent_storage.mountoptions = ['uid=vagrant', 'gid=vagrant']

The options uid and gid in this version of ubunut are only suppor the number values of user and group. Howsoever this is not the problem. I have done some vagrant up and vagrant halt and it seems that i get the problem too.

But this seems as a problem from the guest system. After i enabled the gui of virtual box i can see that the boot up is hanging and so vagrant is not able to connect to the guest.

The startup is halt on Started Journal Service.

Maybe this could be a problem of this version of the linux image. I have not time to investigate this in details but maybe you have some.

Best regards

But this seems as a problem from the guest system. After i enabled the gui of virtual box i can see that the boot up is hanging and so vagrant is not able to connect to the guest.

For me it boots without problems. I can also mount the disk and use it, it only gets stuck when tryiing to shutdown the VM.

[2opremio]

OK, the uid/gid options seems to be a problem. I would had sworn it worked when I created the volume.

[2opremio]

I gave up and resorted to create and mount the disk using ruby scripting directly on the Vagrant file.

I see this also. After a suspend and resume, the networking stack on my Virtualbox instance is unresponsive, so I need to do a vagrant halt -f && vagrant up to bring it back. But vagrant halt -f fails due to this plugin trying to detach the persistent storage, with the SCSI hotplug error quoted above.

I'm not sure why it's trying to detach on vagrant halt -f. I just want the VM to come down hard. My workaround is to power off the VM with the Virtualbox UI, but I'd prefer it to work in script.

[kusnier]

The detach have to processed. If the detach will be bypassed a destroy or manual delete will kill your attached drive and all data is gone.

Unfortunately i have currently no time to investigate this problem.

Still an issue with IDE too:
