I'm not saying everyone uses this method to update their /etc/hosts file when using Virtualbox, but somewhere in the documentation for the vagrant-hostmanager, it should be noted that if you are going to use the above method, you need to make sure that the vbox-service is running on your guest vm, since not running prevents the vagrant-hostmanager plugin from getting it's ip address values.

It might even make sense to have the plugin check that if you're using virtualbox.

Using the VirtualBox method above it silently fails using the above method reporting that everything is fine.
