When running a vagrant instance the project folder is mounted on /vagrant automatically. However is mounted with the following permissions

# ll -d /vagrant
drwx------ 1 vagrant vagrant 612 Jun 13 14:41 /vagrant/

I need it to be mounted with (at least) 0770 but I can't find how. If I run the mount command I see this output

# mount
v-root on /vagrant type vboxsf (uid=1000,gid=100,rw)

I've tried both chmod and chown/chgrp, but they won't work on that mounted folder so my apache user can't access that folder. I read in Vagrant manual that I can change owner and group but it doesn't mention nothing about permission.

How can I do that?

Another option could be switch to NFS but in this way it won't work on Windows platforms and it need to edit local /etc/exports file and it would require root privileges and also it's pretty annoying, so I'd prefer to not make this change.

Solved with this line in my Vagantfile

config.vm.share_folder("v-root", "/vagrant", ".", :extra => 'dmode=770,fmode=770')

Dunno why, but I need a slightly different syntax: config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", :extra => "dmode=777,fmode=666" – AaL May 10 at 12:14
