Just want to point out that if you're using an encrypted filesystem, vagrant up will fail if NFS is enabled. The workaround is to use rsync to maintain the synced folders, a feature introduced in Vagrant 1.5. Just use vagrant rsync-auto to keep the guest folder in sync automatically with your local folder. If you modify files within the VM (like with a bundle install that modifies your Gemfile.lock or with rails generators), I recommend installing the vagrant-rsync-back plugin (https://github.com/smerrill/vagrant-rsync-back).

Good to know. My filesystem is encrypted, running Mac OS X Yosemite, and it does work but I know there are a few other cases where NFS will crap out. As I mention this setup is pretty naive but could see making NFS optional using environment variables. That plugin looks pretty cool though, will look into it.

Never has the issue with full-disk encryption om my mac, but ran into this when using ubuntu's encrypted home. I use a symlink for ~/repos directory ans now it works fine :)
