A Vagrant plugin that creates a persistent storage and attaches it to guest machine.
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-persistent-storage
After installing you can set the location and size of the persistent storage.
The following options will create a persistent storage with 5000 MB, named mysql, mounted on /var/lib/mysql, in a volume group called 'vagrant'
config.persistent_storage.enabled = true
config.persistent_storage.location = "~/development/sourcehdd.vdi"
config.persistent_storage.size = 5000
config.persistent_storage.mountname = 'mysql'
config.persistent_storage.filesystem = 'ext4'
config.persistent_storage.mountpoint = '/var/lib/mysql'
config.persistent_storage.volgroupname = 'myvolgroup'With config.persistent_storage.mountoptions you can change the mount options (default: defaults).
A example which sets prjquota option with xfs.
config.persistent_storage.mountname = 'xfs'
config.persistent_storage.filesystem = 'xfs'
config.persistent_storage.mountpoint = '/mnt/xfs'
config.persistent_storage.mountoptions = ['defaults', 'prjquota']Device defaults to /dev/sdb
Every vagrant up will attach this file as hard disk to the guest machine.
An vagrant destroy will detach the storage to avoid deletion of the storage by vagrant.
A vagrant destroy generally destroys all attached drives. See VBoxMange unregistervm --delete option.
The disk is initialized and added to it's own volume group as specfied in the config; this defaults to 'vagrant'. An ext4 filesystem is created and the disk mounted appropriately, with entries added to fstab ... subsequent runs will mount this disk with the options specified
