Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-vm-builder

When running ubuntu-vm-builder on a machine with a very constrained /tmp I set up a separate partition with plenty of space (20G) and passed its mount point to ubuntu-vm-builder with -t.
It installed a disk image, but then ran out of space when it was using qemu-img to convert the image.

Attached is the output of running u-vm-b

It's possible that this was actually /opt/tmp which ran out of space, but the errors didn't say, so it's kind of hard to tell. If that is the case, then this bug should actually be "ubuntu-vm-builder needs to be more explicit with its errors"

This actually seems to be because the output image is written to $PWD, so is just an unhelpful error (maybe suggest using -d?)
