Connect the image to the first nbd device

[code lang=”bash”]
sudo qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 xyz.qcow2
[/code]

Mount the image. For nbd0, see all the devices available (/dev/nbd0<some-number-or-string>) and try attaching to starting from the first one

[code lang=”bash”]
sudo mount /dev/nbd0p1 /mnt/qcow1
sudo mount /dev/nbd0p2 /mnt/qcow2…
[/code]

Unmount :-

Unmount it.

[code lang=”bash”]
sudo umount /mnt/qcow1
sudo umount /mnt/qcow2…
[/code]

Disconnect the loopback device too

sudo qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0
[/code]

Done!
