Debian: 'Mounting SSHFS shared folder via slave SSHFS mount failed.' error.

[mattarau]

Hi,

When trying to vagrant up Debian VMs (tested with debian/jessie64, debian/wheezy64 and minimal/wheezy64), while Checking Mount.. is running the following error is thrown:

Mounting SSHFS shared folder via slave SSHFS mount failed. Please
look at the below STDERR output from the processes that were run.

SSH command:

Warning: Permanently added '[127.0.0.1]:2222' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
Received disconnect from 127.0.0.1 port 2222:2: Too many authentication failures for vagrant
Connection to 127.0.0.1 closed by remote host.


SFTP command:

Tested only on a macOS 10.12.3 with VirtualBox host.

Cheers!

any chance you are using an ssh-agent with a lot of keys already added to the agent? I see this sometimes because ssh tries to use the keys from the agent first and if you have 4 or more it can fail in this way before trying the ssh key that should be used for the box.

workaround by running SSH_AUTH_SOCK= vagrant up to unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK during execution of vagrant

The workaround works and doesn't even break config.ssh.forward_agent = true. I have eight keys in my agent.

Calling SSH_AUTH_SOCK= vagrant up causes default: Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying... errors for me during the booting process.
