Hi mitchellh. I haven't used vagrant yet but the tool looks great! It will probably be a superb addition to my day-to-day toolbox (I'm a new VirtualBox user). Thank you for creating the tool.

In a probably unrelated question to vagrant, would you happen to know if VirtualBox virtual hdd can be shrinked and expanded? And if VB can, does vagrant support that?

Use-case: one 8GB (only use 2GB total) vm instance to be moved from Windows Server to Ubuntu Linux. Or for cloning purposes. Copying 8GB probably would take a lot of time, compacting it to 2GB first then copying it to multiple machines probably would be a lot faster.

Thanks again for creating vagrant!

VirtualBox does not support resizing disks. You can use other tools (qemu command line comes to mind) to do things like this, but it takes a LONG time and is generally not worth it. There is a lot of work that needs to be done in this space. "libguestfs" looks promising for the future, but I haven't evaluated if its useful for your purpose at the moment.
