hi Jones, Sorry for the late reply. when I used your method to execute command: $guestfish -N fs:xfs -m /dev/sda1 statvfs / libguestfs: error: mkfs: xfs: /dev/sda1: mkfs.xfs: No such file or directory guestfish: error creating prepared disk image 'fs:xfs' on 'test1.img': failed to create filesystem (xfs): mkfs: xfs: /dev/sda1: mkfs.xfs: No such file or directory does I need to rebuild the iniramfs to include mkfs.xfs, is this the root reason that cause the different numbers ? then I used virt-rescure method , the filesystem type was ext2/ext3:><rescue> mount /dev/sda1 /sysroot/mount: /dev/sda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: unknown filesystem type '(null)'><rescue> stat -f /sysrootFile: "/sysroot" ID: ab0d9f3277e010fd Namelen: 255 Type: ext2/ext3 Block size: 4096 Fundamental block size: 4096 Blocks: Total: 1032112 Free: 941307 Available: 888879 Inodes: Total: 262144 Free: 250996><rescue>Thanks, Chen At 2018-01-05 00:22:46, "Richard W.M.
