Bug Description
[Impact]
Users could not use vagrant boxes as a full computer (or anything requiring more than 10G of memory). This was a regression from our behavior in 14.04
[Test Case]
vagrant init ubuntu/bionic64 (replace with ubuntu/eoan64 or ubuntu/xenial64 as needed)
vagrant up
vagrant ssh default
Run `df -H` inside the vagrant box
Observe Disk size of drive mounted at / (before the fix it will list ~10G, after the fix it will list ~40G)
[Regression Potential]
Making the disk size bigger for vagrant boxes does not increase the size of the box when running (not until that extra size is used). Therefore, the regression potential is low, as users with under 40G of disk space are still able to launch the new Vagrant images without running out of space.
The 40G was also present in 14.04, which should improve confidence that our users can use 40G Vagrant images. This has also released with 20.04.
[Original Description]
The ubuntu/xenial64 box has only 10GB of disk whereas it was 40GB with the trusty box.
This makes the box not really usable as a desktop computer.
