Vagrant: Mounting nfs requires sudo, but the sudoers file given in documentation no longer works.

[Mihara]

After upgrading to Vagrant 1.7.4, the following sudoers file, given in the documentation, no longer produces the desired result on Ubuntu 14.04:

Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD = /usr/bin/tee -a /etc/exports
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD_CHECK = /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server status
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD_START = /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD_APPLY = /usr/sbin/exportfs -ar
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_REMOVE = /bin/sed -r -e * d -ibak /etc/exports
%sudo ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD, VAGRANT_NFSD_CHECK, VAGRANT_NFSD_START, VAGRANT_NFSD_APPLY, VAGRANT_EXPORTS_REMOVE

Running vagrant up --debug, unfortunately, results in no hints on what command it actually wants to run, so I find it quite difficult to figure out what do I need to do to make it work again.

It worked in 1.7.2.

Confirmed on 14.10, looking at /var/log/auth.log I don't see the failing command either

Iv tracked this to a series of commits done on nfs.rb while solving this issue, it seems that the exports remove has changed and new cp command added.

Still I'm unable to produce a working sudoers entry to fix this

[narkisr]

I think that iv managed to find a working solution:

ֻCmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD = /usr/bin/tee -a /etc/exports
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_COPY = /bin/cp /tmp/exports /etc/exports
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD_CHECK = /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server status
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD_START = /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_NFSD_APPLY = /usr/sbin/exportfs -ar
Cmnd_Alias VAGRANT_EXPORTS_REMOVE = /bin/sed -r -e * d -ibak /tmp/exports
%sudo ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: VAGRANT_EXPORTS_ADD, VAGRANT_NFSD_CHECK, VAGRANT_NFSD_START, VAGRANT_NFSD_APPLY, VAGRANT_EXPORTS_REMOVE, VAGRANT_EXPORTS_COPY

Iv added a copy and changed the sed remote command

[Mihara]

Confirmed, it works. Thanks for figuring this one out.

I've tried this in 1.7.4 on Ubuntu 15.04 and sadly it doesn't work :(

[demoray]

the sed line should not need sudo privileges, as it is writing to a temp file.

Thanks for your fix @narkisr, confirmed working with vagrant 1.7.4 and Ubuntu 14.04.02

@narkisr Works for me too on Debian (Stretch).

[aosmialowski]

Weird, but @narkisr solution does not work for me on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

[nathanielks]

Woohoo! Thanks @sethvargo!

The commands given in the documentation still do not work for me on OS X. They used to, but they stopped working (i.e. now require a password again) somewhere around 1.7.x...

Not working for me on debian jessie

For future googlers:
Se the section ROOT PRIVILEGE REQUIREMENT in the docs: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/synced-folders/nfs.html

Managed to solve this on my mac by adding proper lines to my /etc/sudoers file.
