[vagrant-up] Vagrant Hyper-V VM stored in 2 places

[George Maslennikov]

My apologies if this was discussed at some point.

My question is, why does vagrant when you download and import a Hyper-V
box, it puts it in 2 different places, thus doubling the amount of disk
space used.
First it puts uncompressed VM into C:/Users/username/.vagrant.d/boxes/blah
blah blah
Then it also puts in into .vagrant/machines/default/hyperv in the location
of the Vagrantfile.

My VM is 65GB in size, now taking up 130GB in actual disk space.

Is there a way to get around this or at the very least change where it
creates .vagrant/machine/default/hyperv directory structure as it is
putting into my git directory structure.

Thank you

one is the template: C:/Users/username/.vagrant.d/boxes/blah

the the other is the local project.

say you have 1 base box, and 6 projects, then you will need 7x space.


Virtualbox and VMWare can use snapshots and that save space.
