I am doing a task in which I have to enter some data which is in a
directory in qcow/qcow2 file. The thing I want to ask is that how can I do
this if I have boot looder or  guest system in a directory rather than in
iso file. I try to make a qcow image and mount it on my file system.
Process for mounting which i m following is

$ modprobe nbd max_part=63
$ qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 image.img
$ mount /dev/nbd0p1 /mnt/image

I have a qcow file of malta mips. If run these commands on malta mips qcow
file, It mount it. But if i try to mount a qcow file created by following
command

qemu-img create -f qcow2 test.qcow2 10G

it give following error

mount: special device /dev/nbd0p1 does not exist

can any one help me how can I write some data in qcow or mount my qcow file.
