Vagrant Windows synced_folder - no such file or directory

Question

I initially thought that the vagrant-winnfsd plugin would take care of NFS storage on Windows (meaning I wouldn't have to use haneWIN) but that was a no-go because the error I received was mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported.

After re-activating haneWIN I now receive this error: mount.nfs: mounting 172.28.128.1:/D/git-repositories/+vm failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory.

I get the impression that the [URL]:[mount] format is incorrect because on another VM I manually set up my mount in fstab with the following: 192.168.11.2:/websites /home/vagrant/rails nfs nfsvers=3,vers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,auto,intr,udp,nolock,exec,rw,user.

Should Vagrant's attempt not look something like 172.28.128.1:/websites given the following configuration?

Host OS: Windows 7 x64, LAN IP: 192.168.11.2
Guest OS: Ubuntu/trusty64
Virtualizer: Virtualbox 5.0.20 r106931
Relevant Plugins: vagrant-winnfsd
Host OS NFS Server: haneWIN NFS Server

NFS Server Exports: D:\git-repositories\+vm -name:websites

My suspicion was correct. vagrant-winnfsd doesn't let you explicitly set the path after the IP address - it always includes the drive letter in front. My solution was the set the haneWIN NFS server export name to match the drive letter that the Vagrantfile was using.

Keep in mind that Vagrantfile is on drive letter I:\.

NFS Server Exports: D:\git-repositories\+vm -name:I

config.vm.network :public_network,
                  ip: '192.168.11.14',
                  bridge: 'Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller'

config.vm.synced_folder '.',
                        '/home/vagrant/apps',
                        nfs: true,
                        mount_options: [
                          'nfsvers=3',
                          'vers=3',
                          'actimeo=1',
                          'rsize=8192',
                          'wsize=8192',
                          'timeo=14',
                          :nolock,
                          :udp,
                          :intr,
                          :user,
                          :auto,
                          :exec,
                          :rw
                        ]

The ultimate problem was that either one of these facts didn't play well with the other:

1) haneWIN's exports cannot use forward slashes, which is what winnfsd uses
2) winnfsd always puts the drive letter in front of the path specified (presumably because it's checking that the path exists on the local file system)
