[Vmdebootstrap-devel] Bug#851495: vmdebootstrap: using --size makes wheezy images no-bootable

[Antonio Terceiro]

Package: vmdebootstrap
Version: 1.7-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I am trying to produce updated vagrant/lihbvirt images for wheezy, but
the generated images do not boot. I tracked it down to the --size
parameter.

This image boots OK:
$ vmdebootstrap --distribution wheezy --roottype ext3 --image 1.raw

This image does not boot -- stalls at "Booting from harddisk":
$ vmdebootstrap --distribution wheezy --roottype ext3 --image 2.raw --size 10G
