Hello，everyone
I ran virt-resize(v1.30.4) on my CentOS 7.1 to resize win2008r2 and got the warning
message (virt-resize: warning: unknown/unavailable method for expanding the ntfs
filesystem on /dev/sda2):

After virt-resize completed its work, obviously the ntfs
filesystem on /dev/sda2 has not been resized. I have already installed
libguestfs-winsupport-7.2 and I don't know what cause the problem.

I think this is the wrong version of libguestfs-winsupport. You
probably want -7.1 from here:

In CentOS 7.2, all the required packages will be in the base distro.

You need to use the 'supported' command:
$ guestfish -a /dev/null run : supported
