Vagrantfile tweaks

Existing Vagrantfile lead to some problems here during provisioning:

  1. setup-ubuntu.sh would fail

and after:

  2. build-all.sh would run out of disk space
  3. build-all.sh would exit due to permission issues

Issue 1 can be addressed by running sudo apt-get update before setup-ubuntu.sh in the Vagrantfile.

One way to address issue 2 is to use the vagrant-disksize plugin:

  https://github.com/sprotheroe/vagrant-disksize

It can be installed by:

  vagrant plugin install vagrant-disksize

Then modifying Vagrantfile to contain a line like:

  config.disksize.size = '50GB'

causes the first partition to be enlarged to 50GB during provisioning.  Combined with an appropriate invocation of resize2fs:

  sudo resize2fs /dev/sda1

so that the filesystem in the partition is resized, the disk space issue seems alleviated.

Issue 3 can be addressed by changing the user from 'ubuntu' to 'vagrant' in the Vagrantfile -- at least that's what worked here.
