I thought virt-resize supports expanding xfs
<
http://libguestfs.org/virt-resize.1.html> so I'm confused here. Is
libguestfs in f23 not built with xfs support? How about f24?
XFS is an optional feature of libguestfs because of the large number
of dependencies that it pulls in. You just need to install the
'libguestfs-xfs' package on the host.
