These don't do the same thing. In fact the guestfish command doesn't work at all. > I just want to mount demo.qcow2 to a device Still unclear. You want to export demo.qcow2 as NBD? Use qemu-nbd. You want to mount demo.qcow2 on the local filesystem? (This doesn't involve NBD.) Use: mkdir /tmp/mnt guestmount --rw -a demo.qcow2 -i /tmp/mnt Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine.
