最新カーネルのUbuntu環境をVagrant上に作る

Ubuntu用の最新カーネルはKernel-ppaで提供されている． 今回はv4.3-rc4-unstableから

• linux-headers-4.3.0-040300rc4-generic_4.3.0-040300rc4.201510041330_amd64.deb

• linux-headers-4.3.0-040300rc4_4.3.0-040300rc4.201510041330_all.deb

• linux-image-4.3.0-040300rc4-generic_4.3.0-040300rc4.201510041330_amd64.deb

をダウンロードしてインストールした． インストールを自動化するスクリプトもあるらしいがまだ試していない．

Linux 4.3ではvirtualbox-guest-dkmsのビルドに失敗し，

vagrant up時に/vagrantのマウントができなくなってしまった．

Failed to mount folders in Linux guest. This is usually because
the "vboxsf" file system is not available. Please verify that
the guest additions are properly installed in the guest and
can work properly. The command attempted was:

mount -t vboxsf -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`getent group vagrant | cut -d: -f3` vagrant /vagrant
mount -t vboxsf -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`id -g vagrant` vagrant /vagrant

The error output from the last command was:

stdin: is not a tty
/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device

ホスト側ではVirtualBox 5.0.6を使用していたので，ゲストにも最新のGuest Additionをインストールしたところビルドに成功した．

VagrantのゲストのGuest Additionを更新するには， vagrant-vbguestというプラグインを用いた．

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

このプラグインをインストールしておくと，vagrant up時にホストと同じバージョンのGuest Additionが自動でインストールされる．
