Hi guys,

First, I'm French, and sorry for my bad English ;)

Well, I starting learn Laravel ~1 month ago and I use Homestead box for a better environment. But, I'm on Windows and by default, Vagrant use a mouting system very very slow when you have much files to load. For example, I need between 3 and 6 seconds to have a simple page on my webview (fully loaded).

After that, I visited Google, StackOverflow, Laracast forum and this forum to find a solution, but without any result.

I've tried NFS mouting (Yes I know, on Windows it's not possible), but I try anyway. After my first failure, I've tried SMB mouting, but I have a errors when Vagrant try to mount files like that :

Failed to mount folders in Linux guest. This is usually because
the "vboxsf" file system is not available. Please verify that
the guest additions are properly installed in the guest and
can work properly. The command attempted was:

mount -t cifs -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`getent group vagrant | cut -d: -f3`,sec=ntlm,username=PallMallShow,pass=PASSWORDHIDDEN //192.168.33.1/1023868ffabedd49a88ba96ed0f50c04 /home/vagrant/www
mount -t cifs -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`id -g vagrant`,sec=ntlm,username=PallMallShow,pass=PASSWORDHIDDEN //192.168.33.1/1023868ffabedd49a88ba96ed0f50c04 /home/vagrant/www

The error output from the last command was:

mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

I'm so desperate to have a good dev server.

If you have any idea, any revolutionary mouting system or blue genuis in a magic lamp, I take anything ! For information, I run with vagrant 1.7.2 and VirtualBox 4.3.26.

PS : I don't have any password on my Windows account for the moment, so maybe the scripts of mouting doesn't take this option ?
