FreeBSD zfs Problems with vagrant box add:

[rvanlaar]

When I add a FreeBSD ZFS box vagrant spits out an error message that the box can't be untared.

$ vagrant box add FreeBSD-ZFS  https://s3.amazonaws.com/vagrant_boxen/freebsd_amd64_zfs.box

Failed to untar the box file. This is usually because you're
attempting to add a box that isn't a valid box file. Please
double check that the box file is properly packaged.

Same here, happened for both ZFS and UFS. Is this project still active?

It looks like you need to use Vagrant 1.2.x - I had the same problem and "fixed" it by upgrading. Sadly Ubuntu's distributed vagrant package is limited to vagrant 1.0.3 so you have to manually install the deb. The latest vagrant deb will not work on 12.04LTS by the way.
