Issue

when vagrant up it says "It appears your machine doesn't support NFS"

Setups

  • Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie）
  • Vagrant 1:2.0.0
  • Virtualbox 5.1.30 r118389

Detail

After using apt-get to update and upgrade the system, I basically followed the instruction from the Mediawiki page, since I wanted to install Mathoid to render LaTeX equations locally for mediawiki page.

However, when I vagrant up it echos the following:

It appears your machine doesn't support NFS, or there is not an
adapter to enable NFS on this machine for Vagrant. Please verify
that `nfsd` is installed on your machine, and try again. If you're
on Windows, NFS isn't supported. If the problem persists, please
contact Vagrant support.

I checked if nfsd is correctly working on the host, and it says it's enabled.

# /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server status
nfs-kernel-server.service - LSB: Kernel NFS server support
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2017-10-15 07:56:32 -02; 2 weeks 0 days ago
CGroup: /system.slice/nfs-kernel-server.service
       ??1277 /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd --manage-gids

I also tried google, and did not find a solution that fits my problem and I couldn't find any hint to resolve this. For instance, I tried to install the package

sudo apt-get install nfs-common

But it has been already installed. Thank you in advance.
