Does this happen with any specific platforms?
Is it still happening?
Does the update to vagrant 1.7.4 resolve the issue?

Any further detail or clarification that can be provided would be helpful.

There isn't enough information here to determine if this is a packer error or an error in the script. If you would like to re-open with more detail please do but I am closing this due to lack of response.

Did anyone figure out how to fix this? I'm running into this now on Centos 7.4 using latest packer and vagrant on vmware fusion.

    vmware-iso: + swappart=/dev/dm-1
    vmware-iso: + /sbin/swapoff /dev/dm-1
    vmware-iso: + dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dm-1 bs=1M
    vmware-iso: dd: error writing ‘/dev/dm-1’: No space left on device
    vmware-iso: 2049+0 records in
    vmware-iso: dd exit code 1 is suppressed

I also checked the disk

[root@localhost ~]# df -h /dev/zero
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs        486M     0  486M   0% /dev
[root@localhost ~]# df -h /dev/dm-1
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs        486M     0  486M   0% /dev

I just noticed that the minimize.sh actually suppresses any failures from this command so probably a moot point.
