The host is running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and has the libguestfs package installed -- which, if I'm not mistaken, provides libguestfs-xfs: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libguestfs Andre Goree ________________________________________ From: Richard W.M.

I seem to be having trouble using guestmount to mount a Fedora 24 disk that is using XFS. This is the error messings I get when I try:

Did you mean one of these? /dev/sda1 (xfs)

I've tried with both /dev/sda1 and /dev/vda1 but no luck. Interestingly enough, a CentOS 7.2 image with XFS and the same setup (i.e., a single partition formatted with XFS) mounts without issue. Any ideas?
You probably need to install libguestfs-xfs on the host.
