I tried this:
> mkdir /tmp/mnt
> guestmount --rw -a demo.qcow2 -i /tmp/mnt
but it shows guestmount no operating sys found on the disk
If using guestmount -i remove this option and choose the filesystems you
want to see by manually adding -m options
The FAQ covers what the -i option is doing:
http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#whats-the-deal-with-guestfish--i
If demo.qcow2 doesn't contain a real operating system then you will
need to replace -i with one or more -m options to specify the
filesystems that you want to be visible under /tmp/mnt, eg to make the
first partition of the disk visible:
guestmount --rw -a demo.qcow2 -m /dev/sda1 /tmp/mnt
