How to change group id and mountpoint of vagrant default shared folder

When I use vagrant with default settings and default Vagrantfile it will mount the current host folder into:

/vagrant

in the guest box. Owner and group of the directory is vagrant.

How can I change the mount point and the group id of the default share? Maybe I'm blind but I didn't found anything about that in the documentation.

You need to override the default Vagrant configuration. This should work:

config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/mymountpoint", :group => "mygroup"

How to set a different owner/group for a synced folder is documented here. For the default configuration, you have instead to check the source code.

I'm using vagrant 1.0.1. (Should have mentioned this in the question) This version uses the shared_folder syntax in Vagrantfile. I tried to override the default share but it didn't work as expected. I figured out that this was because I didn't used the v-root id for the share. Now it's working using the following line: config.vm.share_folder "v-root", "/vagrant", ".", :group => "my-group". But however, thanks for your help! Overriding the share in Vagrantfile does the trick! – hek2mgl – 2013-10-18T13:49:22.057

This is what you need to change the mountpoint:

config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true
config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/newmountpoint", group: "newgroup"

For more details see the synced_folders section in the Vagrant docs.
