Hi,

Using latest libguestfs won't be possible since I want NTFS support too.
And I don't want to compile libguestfs separately for CentOS 7 Unless I can
comfortably use the libguestfs which I compiled on CentOS 8 and use it for
CentOS 7.

Symlink also won't help ?
/usr/sbin/resize2fs -> /my-dir/my-resize2fs

Latest resize2fs is helping in solving my issue but not the stock one
present in CentOS 7
