Thanks, I will track it. The parted issue appears to be that the partprobe process which happens after the loopback mount is failing. This is a legitimate reason for parted to fail, since some usermode tools will be unable to properly read kernel device table. But since this problem does not seem to hinder appliance-creator then, I would argue, the return code (1) should be accepted. The typo in the error message is just bunk, this should be fixed. But for now, commenting out those lines worked. -Thomas Hatch <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 5:35 PM, Jared Smith <<a href="mailto:jaredsmith@jaredsmith.net">jaredsmith@jaredsmith.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im">On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 4:46 PM, Thomas S Hatch <<a href="mailto:thatch45@gmail.com">thatch45@gmail.com</a>> wrote: </div><div class="im">> I am having an issue with appliance-creator and fedora 12. when I attempt > to make any appliance it spits out a python error: </div>You're not the only one... <div class="im"> > Any idea what is going on? Is this a known bug? </div>I have a *bit* of a clue as to what's happening. Something changed with regards to the way parted handles drives after it's changed the partition tables. The appliance-creator program doesn't like the return value from parted, so it throws an error. Unfortunately, there's a typo in the line that gets printed to tell you there's an error, so it throws even more errors. Someone else on the list (who I'm sure is much more clueful than I am) said he was looking at this a few days ago, but I haven't seen any follow-up on it. In the meantime, I've got an open bug in bugzilla (525900) which documents the typo, but not what changed with regards to parted. -Jared Smith _______________________________________________ Thincrust-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Thincrust-devel@redhat.com">Thincrust-devel@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/thincrust-devel" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/thincrust-devel</a> </blockquote></div>
