This is actually a bug in libguestfs. In the following function which is called from virt-sparsify early on: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs-common/blob/9d40590852e0755d4719... if the "lvs" feature is not enabled then calling guestfs_lvs will fail: libguestfs: trace: lvs guestfsd: <= lvs (0xb) request length 40 bytes guestfsd: error: feature 'lvm2' is not available in this build of libguestfs. Read 'AVAILABILITY' in the guestfs(3) man page for how to check for the availability of features. guestfsd: => lvs (0xb) took 0.00 secs libguestfs: trace: lvs = NULL (error) and cause virt-sparsify to exit. Can you try the attached patch to libguestfs/common ?
