The physical host is a MacBook Pro running OSX Yosemite.\r\n\r\nI have settled upon using fuse sshfs to mount my workspaces located on the physical host instead of using virtual box shared folders.\r\n\r\nWhenever I try to `npm install` the dependencies for a given package from within a folder inside that fuse sshfs mount point, npm will fail since it is not able to preserve or set the permissions/ownership for a given installed package.\r\n\r\nIt would be great if npm would not try to restore the ownership/permission, or at least would issue warnings instead of terminally failing upon these errors so that the installation of the dependencies will succeed."}}
