ovf creation is failing with wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/loop0p1

[Santosh]

Hi Marcus

ovf creation is failing and I can't seem to find the reason. Can you please take a cursory look at the settings to see if something stands out? I have run fsck many times but still see the same failure. I also ran tune2fs -j command in ext3.py thinking dmesg "JBD2: no valid journal superblock found" thinking journaling could be the reason but no luck there.

I changed the underlying FileSystem type from ext3 to ext4 and also removed LVM. Now images are getting created fine. Thanks.
