erroneously said not enough space

[thethereza]

tried to run it and save to a cifs moutned nas. I have terrabytes of free space, but your app errored out saying not enough free space. Also, i got errors about invalid commands to fdisk.

Maybe check if fdisk is installed and if not install it?

Then try to add some extra space to the image with the -x parameter. For example: -x 524288000 will add extra 500MB space to the resulting image.
