Vagrant Box for Rocky 8 (V5.0.0) has a small hard disk image

[lucc]

I hope that I am reporting this at the right place: the concern are the vagrant boxes published at https://app.vagrantup.com/rockylinux, specifically the v5.0.0 of the Rocky 8 box for the virtualbox provider. If this is not the right place, do you know who creates and publishes these images and where to report bugs? If this is the right place maybe the responsible people can add a link to this repository in the description on the vagrant page.

The default hard disk image for the vagrant box for Rocky Linux 8 is only 5GB in size. For version 4.0.0 of the image it was around 39 GB. It is possible to add extra disks to a vagrant box via the vagrant file but that is some extra manual configuration by the end user.

The images are published via the vagrant cloud (I think, see above). This means they have quite a bit of reach which makes it worthwhile to think about this usability problem.

This has also come up in the Rocky forums: https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/vagrant-vbox-image-only-has-a-5gb-disk/6148/4

This is still true for http://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/images/x86_64/Rocky-8-Vagrant-Vbox-8.7-20221213.0.x86_64.box which seems to be the "latest" currently.
