I've had similar problems using --raw. Here is the vmbuilder debug
output from attempting to create an ubuntu guest using kvm and libvirt
on a system running 10.04. First I create a 22Gb qcow2 file with the
preallocation=metadata option, which preallocates the entire file.
I didn't see a debug log appear; is there something special I need to do
to get it? Are you unable to duplicate this bug? What options are you
using that are different from mine?

Actually, come to think of it, I would be perfectly happy if you'd
change vmbuilder to take no command line options whatsoever, except
perhaps to turn on debug output, and just take a config file with the
myriad details necessary for setting up a new VM.
