[vagrant-up] vmware_desktop: read-only synced_folers

[a***@beacon.io]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a read-only shared folder using vagrant(2.12)
vmware_desktop (1.0.4) on MacOS (10.13.6) with Vmware Fusion (10.0.1.3).
The base box I'm using is bento/ubuntu16.04


Dcos and examples led me to believe that the following would do the trick

config.vm.synced_folder "../../stuff", "/vagrant_stuff", :mount_options =>
["ro"]

This reuslted in the mount remaining RW.

Looking at the debug logs, the option is passeded in correctly, the vmrun
command is issued to setup the mount ...

INFO guest: Execute capability: mount_vmware_shared_folder [#<Vagrant::Machine:
default (HashiCorp::VagrantVMwareDesktop::Provider)>, "-stuff",
"/vargrant_stuff", {:mount_options=>["ro"], :guestpath=>"/vargrant_stuff",
:hostpath=>"/path_to_stuff/stuff", :disabled=>false, :__vagrantfile=>true,
:owner=>"vagrant", :group=>"vagrant"}] (ubuntu)


INFO subprocess: Starting process: ["/Applications/VMware
Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun", "setSharedFolderState",
"/path_to_vagrantfile/.vagrant/machines/default/vmware_desktop/aaeb092d-dba2-4adf-b67f-2d314f42421d/default.vmx"
, "-vagrant_stuff", "/path_to_stuff/stuff/", "writable"]

but the bind mount command is not getting the RO option.

INFO ssh: Execute: mount --bind '/mnt/vagrant-mounts/1000-1000/-stuff'
'/vagrant_stuff' (sudo=true)

Is there a way to either pass in the readonly-ness into the syned_folder
subsystem or to pass in flags into the bind mount?

Perhaps a stupid observation, but how can you sync a pair of folders
that are read only?

Well.. "synced" is poor choice of wording on Hashicorp's side, not mine :-)

I want to expose part of my host's namespace into my VM and I don't wish
for my vm to modify it under any circumstance.
There's plenty of reason why one might want to do this ... plus the tooling
under the hood is capable of it as well.

Perhaps a stupid observation, but how can you sync a pair of folders that
are read only?

Seems a valid question.

Can you open a issue on github ?

Thanks
