Files missing within minikube mounted volume

[georgecrawford]

Apologies; I have no idea whether this bug is due to docker-machine-driver-xhyve. But it's already been referenced at #112, so I want to give it its own issue.

I think I might be suffering from a similar issue as reported by @Strech here. I'm using docker-machine-driver-xhyve with minikube:

docker-machine-driver-xhyve version 0.3.2
minikube version: v0.19.0
OS X 10.12.2

On creating a fresh VM (minikube start --vm-driver=xhyve), I can see my /Users directory mounted at the same location on the VM (minikube ssh). However, I've encountered a directory where the file count is wrong:

ls -l /Users/george/[MYDIR]/ | wc && minikube ssh -- ls -l /Users/george/[MYDIR]/ | wc
      123     123    5620
      121     121    5547

I don't know how to explore this further. If there are fewer than 70 files in the directory, the file counts are the same. However, at some point over 70, the numbers diverge, as if the mount inside the minikube VM has simply not seen some of the files. They all have identical permissions.

ls -l double counts if you have symbolic links, and kubernetes/minikube#890 reports them as not working with this driver and the mounted volumes created by minikube. Could that cause your issues?

[georgecrawford]

No, this wasn't a symbolic link.

I'm still suffering from this same problem with minikube ISO v0.20.0 and docker-machine-driver-xhyve v0.3.3. Is there any other information I can provide to get to the bottom of the issue?
