Today I started getting errors on simple operations, like creating small files in vim, the bash completion started to complain as well.
Here is the result of df -h :
vagrant@machine:/vagrant$ df -h

So apparently / doesn`t have space anymore ? Isn't it weird since I have space in the other filesystems (or am I misreading something) ?
How do I get more space on my vm ?
Even though you have space on your Guest OS, the VM is limited.There are couple of steps required in order to increase the size of your disk:
first, vagrant haltto close your VM
resize disk
VBoxManage clonehd box-disk1.vmdk box-disk1.vdi --format vdi
VBoxManage modifyhd box-disk1.vdi --resize 50000
start Virtual box and change configuration of the VM to associate the new disk
use fdisk to resize disk
you need to create a new partition with the new space and allocate it, so first start the VM and logged on as super user
vagrant up && vagrant ssh

the command (as illustrated from my instance) are
