The '==>' prefix is used by pacstrap, pacman, and mkinitcpio. A new
prefix is needed to better differentiate the output of the script from
the output of the programs mentioned above.
Also adding more output to the different steps helps during troubleshooting.
The Vagrant documentation for option "group" in syncing folders states
(in https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/synced-folders/basic_usage.html#group):
"By default this will be the SSH user". Vagrant indeed tries to change
the owner and group of synchronized files to vagrant:vagrant (not
vagrant:users). It outputs:
The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!
find /vagrant '!' -type l -a '(' ! -user vagrant -or ! -group vagrant
')' -exec chown vagrant:vagrant '{}' +
Stdout from the command:
Stderr from the command:
find: 'vagrant' is not the name of an existing group
Fix this by using --user-group instead of --gid users in the useradd
command which creates user vagrant.
Previously, there was an issue with mkfs failing due to a missing
options flag; this error was difficult to catch, as it was only output
in the provisioned OS's virtual machine file.
This change moves the base installation steps to be more in line with
the other provisioning steps, and allows for any errors, issues, or
output to be cached in the logs of the interface running the Packer
build.
