Hello,
I am trying to use virt-resize. It does not work. I set the debug
environment variables and ran libguestfs-test-tool. The following
is its output. I am running RHEL 6.5 desktop with kernel:

Please let me know what I have missed.

This is not good! Does KVM generally work on this machine? Do you
have VirtualBox or another hypervisor running at the same time?
If you were running a later version of libguestfs then I would
recommend setting:
export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND_SETTINGS=force_tcg
Unfortunately that doesn't work on 1.20 (added in 1.26) and doing the
equivalent in RHEL 6 is rather involved.
If KVM is broken or there's another hypervisor running you could
also try making /dev/kvm unreadable (chmod 0 /dev/kvm <or> rm /dev/kvm).
Rich.
