guestfish -a IMAGE.qcow2  -i
guestfish: no operating system was found on this disk

If using guestfish ‘-i’ option, remove this option and instead
use the commands ‘run’ followed by ‘list-filesystems’.
You can then mount filesystems you want by hand using the
‘mount’ or ‘mount-ro’ command.

If using guestmount ‘-i’, remove this option and choose the
filesystem(s) you want to see by manually adding ‘-m’ option(s).
Use ‘virt-filesystems’ to see what filesystems are available.

If using other virt tools, this disk image won’t work
with these tools.  Use the guestfish equivalent commands
(see the virt tool manual page).
