If you are using the Vagrant VirtualBox provider, then VirtualBox shared
|
|
|
|
|
folders are the default synced folder type. These synced folders use the
|
|
|
|
|
VirtualBox shared folder system to sync file changes from the guest to the
|
|
|
|
|
host and vice versa.

## Caveats
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a [VirtualBox bug][sendfile bug] related to `sendfile` which can result
|
|
|
|
|
in corrupted or non-updating files. You should deactivate `sendfile` in any
|
|
|
|
|
web servers you may be running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In Nginx:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sendfile off;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In Apache:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
EnableSendfile Off
