guestmount -a path_to_image.qcow2 -i --ro /mount_point

-i --inspector  inspect the disks looking for an operating system and mount filesystems as they would be mounted on the real virtual machine
-m mount

guestmount -a path_to_image.qcow2 -i --ro /mount_point

 guestmount: no operating system was found on this disk

 If using guestfish '-i' option, remove this option and instead
 use the commands 'run' followed by 'list-filesystems'.
 You can then mount filesystems you want by hand using the
 'mount' or 'mount-ro' command.

 If using guestmount '-i', remove this option and choose the
 filesystem(s) you want to see by manually adding '-m' option(s).
 Use 'virt-filesystems' to see what filesystems are available.

 If using other virt tools, this disk image won't work
 with these tools.  Use the guestfis
