[CentOS] claiming unsused space back

As has already been mentioned, some commands (or command options) are only supported on later releases, the man pages don't say this.  Does anyone know of a source of information listing the command, option and version it is implemented in?  That alone would be a great help.

Check out the "virt-sparsify" command - it does all of this for you.
