Hi,
Thank you for your response.
You mean path : /usr/lib64/guestfs/supermin.d/
So I can include my binary (viz : e2fsck/resize2fs) which is compiled in some
other path as well using file : hostfiles ?
If there are particular files that you want to copy to the appliance
you might do something like:
# cat > /usr/lib64/supermin.d/guestfs/zz-extra-files <<EOF
/path/to/my/file1
/path/to/my/file2
/path/to/my/other*
EOF
However this might not help to include standard utilities like
resize2fs. supermin will normally copy the host file
(eg. /usr/sbin/resize2fs) to the appliance, and that will probably be
the old version of the utility, unless you can update it on the host.
Very much depends what exactly you are trying to do.

Supermin just uses whatever version of e2fsprogs is installed
on the host and copies it into the guest.
If you cannot upgrade that, you can add arbitrary files into the
appliance by listing them in a file under
/usr/lib64/supermin.d/guestfs/ See:
https://libguestfs.org/supermin.1.html#SUPERMIN-APPLIANCES
libguestfs 1.28 is very old indeed (released 8 years ago).
Is there no option to upgrade it?
