[Vmdebootstrap-devel] Bug#831029: vmdebootstrap: Move qcow2 conversion to after system_cleanup

[Christian Kastner]

Package: vmdebootstrap
Version: 1.5-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I noticed that the images created by using --convert-qcow2 were
unbootable in most cases for me (maybe all, but I don't recall that
right now). Recreating them manually using qemu-img succeeded, however.

I then noticed that the conversion step is being called while the image
is still mounted. I thought that might be a problem, even though no
further writes seem to happen at that point, so I tried moving the
conversion step until after the image has been unmounted. This indeed
resolved the issue for me.

The attached patch against HEAD of master implements this.

Regards,
Christian
