--- Begin Message ---Package: vmdebootstrap Version: 0.4-3 Severity: important Tags: patch At the moment it is impossible to combine the --grub and --bootsize options in vmdebootstrap: root@tjener:~# vmdebootstrap --distribution=jessie --image=test.img --verbose --grub --bootsize=256M Creating disk image Creating partitions Creating filesystem ext4 Mounting /dev/mapper/loop0p2 on /tmp/user/0/tmpMlrrJq Creating filesystem ext2 Mounting /dev/mapper/loop0p1 on /tmp/user/0/tmpMlrrJq/boot/ Debootstrapping Give root an empty password Removing udev persistent cd and net rules Setting up networking Updating the initramfs Configuring grub2 Failed. Is grub2-common installed? Using extlinux.

I discovered this while working on the btrfs patch, but submit this as a separate bug report to make sure the fix is not lost even if no-one have time to look at the btrfs issue. This patch solve the issue by ensuring 1 MiB at the start of the disk is reserved when --bootsize is used, to make sure it behave the same way vmdebootstrap (and parted) is working when --bootsize isn't used. --- vmdebootstrap.orig 2014-10-18 20:35:19.000000000 +0200 +++ vmdebootstrap 2014-11-03 05:34:47.319278095 +0100 @@ -243,13 +272,14 @@ self.runcmd(['parted', '-s', self.settings['image'], 'mklabel', 'msdos']) if self.settings['bootsize'] and self.settings['bootsize'] is not '0%': - bootsize = str(self.settings['bootsize'] / (1024 * 1024)) + reserved = 1 # MiB space for boot loader / grub + bootend = str(reserved + (self.settings['bootsize'] / (1024 * 1024))) self.runcmd(['parted', '-s', self.settings['image'], - 'mkpart', 'primary', 'fat16', '0', bootsize]) + 'mkpart', 'primary', 'fat16', str(reserved), bootend]) else: - bootsize = '0%' + bootend = '0%' self.runcmd(['parted', '-s', self.settings['image'], - 'mkpart', 'primary', bootsize, '100%']) + 'mkpart', 'primary', bootend, '100%']) self.runcmd(['parted', '-s', self.settings['image'], 'set', '1', 'boot', 'on']) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
