Package: fai-setup-storage
Version: 5.0.1
Using debian 8.2 for the faiserver, installing to
the default debian jessie target.
The server and install target are both vms within
a machine running arch linux (qemu 2.4.1-2, libvirt 1.3.0-1).

Install fails. The last thing printed to stdout
is the same as the saved format.log on the faiserver:

Comparatively, using a raw disk file, the install succeeds
# qemu-img create /var/lib/libvirt/images/demohost 10G
This time format.log looks good:
