Following back up on this thread as we were never able to find a resolution=
to this issue. There is no issue with the host disk size. But there is s=
ome additional information that we think might shed more light into what mi=

virtual disks on the VM

I cannot reproduce this error.

I've changed sda2 to disk1.2, which is more elegant.
Then I've booted this FAI config in qemu with a fresh disk of size
40GB. It went smoothly through the disk partitioning steps.
Maybe your local storage is full and the qemu disk cannot grow to the
needed size? Pressing Alt-F2 gives you another root shell during the
FAI installation, so you can call commands to debug this.
But check your disks space on the host.

I've changed sda2 to disk1.2, which is more elegant.<br>
Then I've booted this FAI config in qemu with a fresh disk of size<br>
40GB. It went smoothly through the disk partitioning steps.<br>
Maybe your local storage is full and the qemu disk cannot grow to the<br>
needed size? Pressing Alt-F2 gives you another root shell during the<br>
FAI installation, so you can call commands to debug this.<br>
<br>
But check your disks space on the host.<br>
