[Bug 303882] Re: python-vm-builder --raw doesn't set size correctly

[Tom]

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 getting sizes for some of these types of devices  
given the extra information provided on the command line.
