If this returns true, it doesn't mean that a particular filesystem can be mounted, since filesystems can fail for other reasons such as it being a later version of the filesystem, or having incompatible features. (We might change that to say "created or mounted"). I pushed this upstream: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/280dbed9aabcb5aa2ddbed4f0c49a82235df7eae Verified with libguestfs-1.20.10-2.el6.x86_64, ><fs> help filesystem-available NAME filesystem-available - check if filesystem is available SYNOPSIS filesystem-available filesystem DESCRIPTION Check whether libguestfs supports the named filesystem. The argument "filesystem" is a filesystem name, such as "ext3". You must call "launch" before using this command. This is mainly useful as a negative test. If this returns true, it doesn't mean that a particular filesystem can be created or mounted, since filesystems can fail for other reasons such as it being a later version of the filesystem, or having incompatible features, or lacking the right mkfs.<*fs*> tool. See also "available", "AVAILABILITY" in guestfs(3). ><fs> Document modified, so change the status to verified Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
