[Libguestfs] unknown/unavailable method for expanding the ntfs filesystem
Hello，everyone
I ran virt-resize(v1.30.4) on my CentOS 7.1 to resize win2008r2 and got the
warning message (virt-resize: warning: unknown/unavailable method for expanding
the ntfs
filesystem on /dev/sda2):
>/usr/local/libguestfs-1.30.4/run virt-resize --expand /dev/sda2
/images/win2008_src.raw /dev/vg0/win2008_resize_dst

virt-resize: warning: unknown/unavailable method for expanding the
ntfs
filesystem on /dev/sda2
**********
Summary of changes:
/dev/sda1: This partition will be left alone.
/dev/sda2: This partition will be resized from 19.9G to 49.9G.
**********
[ 6.0] Setting up initial partition table on
/dev/vg0/win2008_resize_dst
[ 6.2] Copying /dev/sda1
[ 6.5] Copying /dev/sda2
After virt-resize completed its work, obviously the ntfs filesystem on
/dev/sda2 has not been resized. I have already installed
libguestfs-winsupport-7.2 and I don't know what cause the problem.
Can someone help me in this issue? Thanks!

You probably want -7.1 from here: https://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-winsupport/7/7.1/ In CentOS 7.2, all the required packages will be in the base distro.> >./run guestfish -a /dev/null run : filesystem_available ntfs > trueYou need to use the 'supported' command: $ guestfish -a /dev/null run : supported acl yes augeas yes blkdiscard yes blkdiscardzeroes yes btrfs yes extlinux yes fstrim yes gdisk yes grub no hivex yes inotify yes journal yes ldm yes linuxcaps yes linuxfsuuid yes linuxmodules yes linuxxattrs yes luks yes lvm2 yes mdadm yes mknod yes ntfs3g yes ntfsprogs yes realpath yes rsync yes scrub yes selinux yes syslinux yes wipefs yes xfs yes xz yes zerofree yes Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.

I didn't realize before you were compiling your own copy of libguestfs. In that case what you have to do to make it work is: $ cp /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/zz-winsupport appliance.d/supermin.d/ since local builds of libguestfs use their own supermin appliance.
