It would also be helpful to understand how this compares to tools that would appear to have similar purposes, such as veewee.

This is, mounting all those recipe directories into the guest. I'm not sure if provisioning switches to use NFS Shared Folders when configured, or, if there is any \"hack\" to get it work.\r\nHowever, this is probably a question the vagrant-guys may able to answer in more detail.\r\n\r\nMy two cents on that: I don't use NFS Share Folders _that_ way. As the vagrant docs point out, the whole NFS Shared Folders stuff need the host to run a NFS Server (which is not supported by Windows hosts), and vagrant itself will alter the hosts `exports` file. \r\nI prefer the guest system to run a NFS Server, and the host to mount that share. This will also allow you to have all your actual source code inside of your box, which runs the same filesystem as your targeted production environment. E.g. Mac OS uses, from a linux point of view, a weird case preserving but case insensitive fs. This will course some funny problems when you have a case-typo: `SomeFile` will be found by linux as `Somefile` when looking at a NFS share provided by Mac, on a standard linux filesystem it wont.\r\nAlso, you could use your box on a Windows host.\r\n","id":2860557,"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dotless-de/vagrant-vbguest/issues/comments/2860557"}}
