I am using Vagrant and VMware Workstation 12 Pro on Linux but cannot use a linked clone. I have to set "linked_clone = false" for my provider VM.
Since HashiCorp does not ship a 16.04 LTS box with the tag "vmware_workstation", I am using "ainfamoussyn/vagrant-vmware-xenial64". My system details are below. - Linux Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS - Vagrant 2.0.0 - Plugins: vagrant-vmware-workstation (5.0.1), vagrant-share (1.1.9, system) I am using the wrong Vagrant box tag? What's the difference between "vagrant_workstation" and "vagrant_desktop"? ==> default: Enabling and configuring shared folders... INFO vmware_driver: Enabling shared folders...
