_________________________________________

Possible problems:
If the process hangs up at this stage (does not produce any output for more that 15 minutes):
     === Applying 'image_create' stage ===
     == Started Tue Jun 14 14:13:10 UTC 2016 ==
then restart and run the following command to resume:
      sudo reboot
      cd ~/bosh
      env STEMCELL_BUILD_NUMBER=3232 BOSH_MICRO_ENABLED=no resume_from=image_create bundle exec rake stemcell:build_with_local_os_image[openstack,kvm,ubuntu,trusty,go,/home/ubuntu/workspace/ubuntu_base_image.tgz] --trace

 

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The RESULT of the build is located in /mnt/stemcells/openstack/kvm/ubuntu/work/work (2 files):
- bosh-stemcell-ppc64le-3232-openstack-kvm-ubuntu-trusty-go_agent-raw.tgz
- bosh-stemcell-ppc64le-3232-openstack-kvm-ubuntu-trusty-go_agent.tgz

If anything goes wrong, reboot and run the cleanup command:
    sudo reboot
    sudo rm -rf /mnt/stemcells/
Then try the steps again.
