NAME
qcowfs - QCOW2 file system
SYNOPSIS
disk/qcowfs [ -n size ] [ -m mtpt ] [ -s service ] diskimage
DESCRIPTION
Qcowfs exposes a data file using the provided diskimage as
the backing store.
The -n flag truncates imagefile with the specified size (in
bytes) before using it. The -m flag sets the mtpt (default
/mnt/qcow). The -s flag causes qcowfs to post its 9P ser-
vice as /srv/service.
EXAMPLES

disk/qcowfs -n $size image.qcow2
disk/partfs /mnt/qcow/data
disk/mbr -m /386/mbr /dev/sdXX/data
