Corrupted or non updating files VirtualBox bug

If you're using the VirtualBox provider, then VirtualBox shared folders are the default synced folder type. These synced folders use the VirtualBox shared folder system to sync file changes from the guest to the host and vice versa.

There is a VirtualBox bug related to sendfile which can result in corrupted or non-updating files. You should deactivate sendfile in any vhost files you may be running.

In Nginx:

sendfile off;

In Apache:

EnableSendfile Off
