vagrant-extended-storage

Vagrant::Extended-storage

A Vagrant plugin that extends the root storage by attaching a second volume and using lvmextend.

Requires lvm partitions.

Installation

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-extended-storage

Usage

After installing you can set the location and size of the extended storage.

The following options will create a extend storage with 5000 MB, named mysql, mounted on /var/lib/mysql, in a volume group called 'vagrant'

config.extended_storage.enabled = true
config.extended_storage.location = "~/development/sourcehdd.vdi"
config.extended_storage.size = 5000
config.extended_storage.filesystem = 'ext4'
config.extended_storage.volgroupname = 'vg_os'

With config.extended_storage.mountoptions you can change the mount options (default: defaults).
A example which sets prjquota option with xfs.

config.extended_storage.mountname    = 'root'

Device defaults to /dev/sdb. For boxes with multiple disks, make sure you increment the drive:

config.extended_storage.diskdevice = '/dev/sdc'

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 the volume group specfied in the config;

NOT TESTED or SUPPORTED. Get a Mac/Linux ffs.

Troubleshooting

If your box are not using LVM you must set config.extended_storage.use_lvm = false. (currently we only support LVM)
