Issue

when vagrant up it says "It appears your machine doesn't support NFS"

Setups

  • Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie）
  • Vagrant 1:2.0.0
  • Virtualbox 5.1.30 r118389

Detail

After using apt-get to update and upgrade the system, I basically followed the instruction from the Mediawiki page, since I wanted to install Mathoid to render LaTeX equations locally for mediawiki page.

However, when I vagrant up it echos the following:

It appears your machine doesn't support NFS, or there is not an
adapter to enable NFS on this machine for Vagrant. Please verify
that `nfsd` is installed on your machine, and try again. If you're
on Windows, NFS isn't supported. If the problem persists, please
contact Vagrant support.

I checked if nfsd is correctly working on the host, and it says it's enabled.

# /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server status
nfs-kernel-server.service - LSB: Kernel NFS server support
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2017-10-15 07:56:32 -02; 2 weeks 0 days ago
CGroup: /system.slice/nfs-kernel-server.service
       ??1277 /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd --manage-gids

I also tried google, and did not find a solution that fits my problem and I couldn't find any hint to resolve this. For instance, I tried to install the package

sudo apt-get install nfs-common

But it has been already installed. Thank you in advance.

The command mentioned below works for linux mint 18.3: 

sudo apt-get install nfs-common nfs-kernel-server

For Windows users seeing that error, run the following command to add support for NFS for Vagrant:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfsd

The GitHub repo for this plugin is found here.

Also, to see the currently installed Vagrant plugins run this:

vagrant plugin list

Can be fixed by adding any exports to /etc/exports.

by :

   modprobe nfs
   modprobe nfsd

then running vagrant, which will add /etc/exports, then reloading kernel-server and restarting vagrant.

instead of installed NFS cos really no supported :

Try just removing type: nfs from the vagrant_synced_folders

    welcome i am on debian jessie x64 I7 the first solution solve me the problem. –  Oct 29 '17 at 22:12
  • After freezing the system once and had the fear that it has to be reinstalled from scratch, I gave up. I need to really learn the notions of vagrant and virtualbox first, simply following guide did not get me anywhere. Therefore, unfortunately, this stuff is beyond my capability.. Many thanks for the helps! – gamebm Oct 30 '17 at 19:47
