Error while executing `VBoxManage` (vagrant / virtualbox)
I am following the installation tutorial from Data Science on the command line, which includes the following steps:
$ mkdir MyDataScienceToolbox
$ cd MyDataScienceToolbox
$ vagrant init data-science-toolbox/data-science-at-the-command-line
$ vagrant up
This works fine on one of my computers, but not on the other. Why?
Both computers use Virtualbox version: 4.3.12 and Windows 7.
This error message:
$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'data-science-toolbox/data-science-at-the-command-line'...
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
to control VirtualBox. The command and stderr are shown below.
Command: ["import", "C:\\Users\\bernard\\.vagrant.d\\boxes\\data-science-toolbox-VAGRANTSLASH-data-science-at-the-command-line\\0.0.5\\virtualbox\\box.ovf", "--vsys", "0", "--vmname", "packer-virtualbox-iso_1410075150030_92186", "--vsys", "0", "--unit", "7", "--disk", "C:\\cygwin64\\home\\bernard\\VirtualBox VMs\\packer-virtualbox-iso_1410075150030_92186\\packer-virtualbox-iso-disk1.vmdk"]

It looks like on a fault tolerant system, your C: drive may not have enough free space. From the end of the error message: "VERR_DISK_FULL".
A similar question about the superuser: What causes the "Hard disk creation failed" error when creating a new virtual machine?
