Problems with the meteor shower app

I have a virtual virtual (virtual) installation with a meteorite. My host and guest is Ubuntu. The VM contains the configuration of the vboxfs shared folder through the Vagrantfile. The behavior I notice is like mounting NFS.

I can create a meteor project in this shared folder, but when I start the project, I get errors pointing to mongodb.

If I follow the instructions at https://github.com/pixelhandler/vagrant-dev-env/blob/master/README.md my application works fine.

According to further research, MongoDB does not work with NFS stocks, http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/NFS

Anyone else run into this issue? and if so, did you find out the solution (non-rsync)?

I plan to send a link to this question in 10gen, maybe someone from their team will be able to answer it.

Not sure if Mongo plans work on NFS / vboxfs, but you can get around this by running your own MongoDB, but not in a shared folder (for example, use the ubuntu mongodb package). Use the MONGO_URL environment variable to tell the meteor where to connect. If you pass this variable, the meteorite will not try to start MongoDB in the meteor project directory.

You can move the dir data somewhere inside the virtual machine and use a symbolic link from the vagrant folder:

  cd /vagrant/.meteor/local
 ln -s ~ / db /

This means that the data will not be shared, but you probably want it to be ignored by git anyway.

The grahamrhay solution will not work with a firewall running on Windows. It is not possible to create symbolic links to windows for vagrants, at least not for administrator accounts.
