    Vagrant version 2.4.3. Vagrant parallels plugin version 2.4.2. Machine is ubuntu, laptop is M3 Pro. I've gotten on a few different ubuntu-based boxes I've tried. Parallels tools updated on the box before booting and still had this error.

    This is the error:

    Vagrant was unable to mount Parallels Desktop shared folders. This is usually
    because the filesystem "prl_fs" is not available. This filesystem is
    made available via the Parallels Tools and kernel module.
    Please verify that these guest tools are properly installed in the
    guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty
    Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:

    mount -t prl_fs -o uid=1000,gid=1000,_netdev vagrant /vagrant

    The error output from the command was:

    mount: /vagrant: unknown filesystem type 'prl_fs'.​

    Downgrading to Parallels version 19 fixes this.

    My development environment has been broken since Parallels Desktop removed prl_fs and I've been billed automatically for one more year before I could cancel my subscription. Not cool.
