Comment 3 Xianghua Chen 2016-06-28 02:24:05 EDT

Verified with the packages:
libguestfs-1.32.5-6.el7.x86_64

Verify steps:
1.  Prepare an rhel7 image:  RHEL-Server-7.2-64-hvm.raw
2. Use  --truncate-recursive to truncate a no-existing path:
# virt-customize -a  RHEL-Server-7.2-64-hvm.raw --truncate-recursive /home/noexist
[   0.0] Examining the guest ...
[   3.4] Setting a random seed
[   3.4] Recursively truncating: /home/noexist
virt-customize: error: libguestfs error: find0: /home/noexist: No such file 
or directory

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

  virt-customize -v -x [...]


It gives obvious error as above.

So verified.
