Hi,

On CentOS 8, when using virt-sparsify for a ntfs image, it does not seem 
to work.

Tried virt-sparsify on Fedora 32 and it works great.

Is there some dependent application that need to be installed in CentOS 
8 for virt-sparsify to work on ntfs?

Here are some information.

CentOS 8.
# virt-sparsify -V
virt-sparsify 1.38.4rhel=8,release=14.module_el8.1.0+248+298dec18,libvirt

# virt-sparsify --machine-readable
virt-sparsify
linux-swap
zero
check-tmpdir
in-place
tmp-option

Fedora 32.
# virt-sparsify -V
virt-sparsify 1.42.0fedora=32,release=6.fc32,libvirt

# virt-sparsify --machine-readable
virt-sparsify
linux-swap
zero
check-tmpdir
in-place
tmp-option
ntfs
btrfs

Noticed that the Fedora 32 virt-sparsify --machine-readable has ntfs.

How to get that on CentOS 8?

P.V.Anthony
