Compressing Windows Image Fails

[rustyjarz]

Hi,

Setup a new Windows 10 Node. Trying to compress the image as described here https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/docume ... n-the-eve/. I'm getting the below errors. There is ample free space on the EVE system.

virt-sparsify: error: libguestfs error: guestfs_launch failed.
This usually means the libguestfs appliance failed to start or crashed.
Do:
export LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1
and run the command again. For further information, read:
http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.htm ... libguestfs
You can also run 'libguestfs-test-tool' and post the *complete* output
into a bug report or message to the libguestfs mailing list.

If reporting bugs, run virt-sparsify with debugging enabled and include the
complete output:

virt-sparsify -v -x [...]

It is script nased solution you can make it ready today.
1.Download and unzip attached file
2. Load it in your EVE Location:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin

instead of virt-sparsify
use command

Code: Select all

eve-sparsify  --compress virtioa.qcow2 compressedvirtioa.qcow2
