specifying part prevents raw from working

[David Kerrawn]

vmbuilder 0.11.3 (0.11.353) & 0.11.4 (0.11.367)
A raw space (eg an LVM partition) can be specified with --raw but when I try to define the partitions using --part, it no longer writes to the raw space, but creates qcow2 images.

It would be handy to be able to specify multiple raw images for each disk in the partition description file.

This bug seems to be present in 0.12.4.r446 also.

Hi,
'raw' option seems to be incompatible with 'part' option.
If 'part' selected, disks are created in temporary files, according to '---' separator given in vmbuilder.partition file, and 'raw' option is discard.

As 'raw' option can only handle one disk at time, both option can only be compatible if only one disk is given in vmbuilder.partition file (ie : no '---' separator between partitions)

Here is a small patch to handle that case. If both options are given, all partitions are build on raw disk. If multiple sections are found in vmbuilder.partition file, exception is raised.

Hope this helps
