I have a broken app-vm, from which I want to recover the usr home dir.
I want to mount the private.img as a vol to the new working vm using 
qvm-block so I can copy user files in accordance with instructions here:

Please help with proper syntax so I can recover user data from an app-vm 
that won't boot. TIA
