Problems:
- permissions
- slow I/O because of vboxfs
Solution: mount the disk using NFS.
These instructions need to be run only once to set up NFS.
Add in /etc/exports (create it if it doesn't exist):
/Users -mapall=matthieu:staff 192.168.1.95
Replace with your user name (run whoami) and the IP address of the vagrant VM created by Boot2docker (run boot2docker ip).
Add in /etc/nfs.conf (create it if it doesn't exist):
nfs.server.mount.require_resv_port = 0
Restart the NFS deamon by running:
sudo nfsd restart
I believe these instructions should be run every time the boot2docker VM is restarted (e.g. when you restart your computer).
Run the following commands:
sudo umount /Users
sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/nfs-client restart
sleep 10
sudo mount 192.168.0.107:/Users /Users -o rw,async,noatime,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp,nfsvers=3
The IP address should be the OS X address. You can get it by running this command on OS X (not inside Boot2docker): ifconfig en0 | grep --word-regexp inet | awk '{print $2}'.
