Public bug reported:
Bionic beaver 18.04 libguetfs-tools 1:1.36.13-1ubuntu3:
sudo apt-get install libguestfs-tools
mkdir sysroot
# Just a test file.
dd if=/dev/urandom of=sysroot/myfile bs=1024 count=1024
sudo virt-make-fs --format=qcow2 --type=ext2 sysroot sysroot.ext2.qcow2
fails with:
libguestfs: error: tar_in: write error on directory: /:
Without sudo:
virt-make-fs --format=qcow2 --type=ext2 sysroot sysroot.ext2.qcow2
fails with:
libguestfs: error: /usr/bin/supermin exited with error status 1.
To see full error messages you may need to enable debugging.
Do:
export LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1
and run the command again. For further information, read:
http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#debugging-libguestfs
You can also run 'libguestfs-test-tool' and post the *complete* output
into a bug report or message to the libguestfs mailing list.
but I think it is an unrelated problem.
Original command with debug vars:
sudo LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 virt-make-fs
--format=qcow2 --size=+200M sysroot/ output.img
attached as a file.
