[Fedora-livecd-list] livecd-creator arbitrary fsck errors

[Ls Wol]

Hi

I have a huge problem building a RHEL6 LiveCD/DVD.
This happend on two different virtual machines I used to build a LiveCD, thats why I'm writing to this list.

Setup: Clean RHEL6.2 Install, >30GB free space available.
Aim: RHEL6 LiveCD with some extra packages.

After a few successfull builds (3 - 4, sometimes after 1) livecd-creator stops working. 
If I try to build a LiveCD I always get the following error:

Error creating Live CD : fsck after resize returned an error!  image to debug at /tmp/resize-image-ZJgv1q

I try to build the LiveCD with the following line:

livecd-creator -c fedora-livecd-desktop.ks -f rhel6-live -t /var/tmp/rhel6-live/ --cache /var/cache/rhel6-live/ -d -v --logfile=/root/spin-kickstarts-kundrak/rhel6-live.log

I run the commandline within a simple shellscript which exports LANG=C prior to starting livecd-creator as I read on an old post on this list, that this could be an issue.

Because it drove me nuts, I (manually) logged the configuration (added packages, changed settings) of my runs on the second machine. I thought this would be a good idea because then I'm able to revert my steps and always have a working base-configuration. But even when I'm reverting my last step after it stopped working, it still doesn't work and breaks with the same error.
Between the runs, I cleaned the cache & tmp dir and even did reboots. But still no luck.

It can't be the repo configuration or other stuff like the part size etc., because when it runs without an error, I cant boot the livecd and all extra packages I included are available.

Why is it sometimes working and why not?

Do you have any suggestions? I really appreciate any help!

Thanks,
Alex
