I would prefer the second option, using VBoxManage to produce small non-sparse .VHD images for our Vagrant boxes, and avoid the compatibility problems posed by sparse files. But this would need to be done in Image Factory, so it's actually for Ian to decide if using VirtualBox is acceptable.
We now have a working solution for producing regular .vhd images as part of our release process: CBS is now using qemu-img-ev and qemu-kvm-ev from the Virt SIG, instead of the versions in CentOS Linux base. We don't need either VirtualBox or changes in Image Factory.
If anyone has access to Hyper-V on Windows and would be willing to test two Vagrant images, please let me know. I received conflicting test results from Thomas and Michael, and I'd like to have at least an additional test before deciding whether to release them or not.
Thanks, Laurențiu
