This is a repost of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24693503/reconnect-synced-folders-from-puppet-after-virtualbox-restart
from July 2014. I could not get the solution by Sirlark to work. I have created a puppet/vagrant/VirtualBox generated installation of Ubuntu running on a Windows host; see https://bitbucket.org/dmenne/rstudio-shiny-server-on-ubuntu for details. This allows users to run RStudio and Shiny server on Windows. In `Vagrantfile`, I have `config.vm.synced_folder "shiny-server", "/srv/shiny-server", create:true` to create a shared folder. When I start the VM with `vagrant up` or `vagrant reload`, everything works Ok. One customer does not want to install puppet etc, and asks for a standalone VM to be started/stopped with the VirtualBox Manager on Windows. However, after I shutdown a vagrant-booted VM Box, my synced folders do not connect/mount again on VM restart, even if they turn up correctly in the shared folders dialog of the VirtualBox Manager. I have also tried to manually set "Automount" without success. How can I generate a Vagrant-generated VM so it can be started/stopped without Vagrant?
