Answer 1

I believe this is the most updated answer now and it worked for me ( Guest Additions Version: 5.0.6, VirtualBox Version: 4.3.16, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)

Basically i says:

Simple and Quick Solution for Failed to mount folders in Linux guest issue.

Add the following line to your Homestead/Vagrantfile:

config.vbguest.auto_update = false
Your Homestead/Vagrantfile should looks like this:

/...

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|

   # To avoid install and uninstall VBoxGuessAdditions during vagrant provisioning.
    config.vbguest.auto_update = false

.../
Save it and execute

$ vagrant destroy --force
$ vagrant up

Answer 2

Your log complains about not finding exportfs: sudo: /usr/bin/exportfs: command not found

The exportfs makes local directories available for NFS clients to mount.

Answer 3

by now the mounting works on some machines (ubuntu) and some doesn't (centos 7) but installing the plugin solves it

vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

without having to do anything else on top of that, just

vagrant reload
