Re: [Libguestfs] can not get the virt-sparsify code in libguestfs ?

We download the guestfs-tools from below git and compile a local version . But when we did the test , please see below: 1. In the Windows the Drive D:\ , the real disk usage is about 19.9-17.7 =2.2G. [cid:image001.png@01D8CF83.561C24A0] 1. Shutdown VM , then we use virt-sparsify on the qcow2 image, but the size is still same as before 6.54G. It is expected the qcow2 is resized to 2.2G , right ? Any reason for why the disk size is not returned to host ? [cid:image002.png@01D8CF83.561C24A0] Thanks a lot ! lifeng -----Original Message----- From: Richard W.M.
