mitchellh/vagrant — Issue #669: Base boxes are extracted to the wrong place
Author: jshuping

(Seen in all 0.9.x releases, OSX 10.7)

My base box has a VirtualSystemIdentifier of "core" (in the base box's .ovf).

After bringing up a fresh vagrant, my ~/VirtualBox VMs/ contains 2 new directories:

core: the VMDK file

vagrant_1327168500: the .vbox file and Logs/

This seems like a bug, all of the files should go into one subdirectory of VirtualBox VMs. It is confusing to anyone who looks in that directory. Also it makes me unable to customize my vagrant to a new name of "core", because that directory already exists.

In 0.8.10, everything lives together in ~/VirtualBox VMs/core.

Thanks!
