Do you have enough free memory on the host? Another thing to do would be to look for the file called guestfs-ecwkqdns6qyvh9v5.log (probably located somewhere under /var/log/libvirt/qemu), and see if there is some other qemu error which libvirt is hiding from us. You could also remove libvirt from the equation and have libguestfs run qemu directly, to see if that makes any difference and/or allows you to see the real error: LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct libguestfs-test-tool More information possibly in this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=765733 BTW you don't need to run libguestfs-test-tool as root.
