how to mount a bootable VM image file?

[Judd Maltin <judd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using OpenStack to create VMs.  They're KVM VMs, and I can see all the authentication information I need on the process tree.  I want to mount this bootable image on the hypervizor node to access its filesystem and fix a file I messed up in /etc/ so I can get the VM to boot.

[root@ceph mnt]# mount -t ceph 192.168.170.53:6789:/volumes/d02ef718-bb44-4316-9e93-5979396921da_disk /mnt/image -o 'name=volumes,secret=AQDG7fBVqH3/LxAA8pQ0IF5LKQzAPYKTv8SvfQ=='
mount: 192.168.170.53:6789:/volumes/d02ef718-bb44-4316-9e93-5979396921da_disk: can't read superblock

How can I find and use the partition inside this raw, bootable file image?

Thanks folks,
