Would also like to see this fixed for karmic. Using python-vmbuilder
0.11.3-0ubuntu1 and the same error occurs when trying to use a 10G LVM
volume as a --raw device. I assume this is the same bug.
sudo vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --debug --verbose -m 2048 --raw=/dev/mapper/vg
--storage-lv--chat_root

python-vm-builder --raw doesn't set size correctly

what you try to fit into it, but I do not see any obvious way to
determine
Only suggestion I have is to move away from --raw as an option (except
as a last resort) and instead diversify the options such that you
could have something like --partition --drive and --lvm (and any
others that I am leaving out as valid block devices) and then there
should be ways of
