Implement the -m/--mount as available in guestfish to override the
automatic introspection and specify which partitions to mount instead.

+
+Mount the named partition or logical volume on the given mountpoint.
+
+If the mountpoint is omitted, it defaults to C</>.
+
+Specifying any mountpoint disables the inspection of the guest and
+the mount of its root and all of its mountpoints, so make sure
+to mount all the mountpoints needed to work with the filenames
+gives as arguments.
+
+If you don't know what filesystems a disk image contains, you can
+either run guestfish without this option, then list the partitions,
+filesystems and LVs available (see L</list-partitions>,
+L</list-filesystems> and L</lvs> commands), or you can use the
+L<virt-filesystems(1)> program.
+
+The third (and rarely used) part of the mount parameter is the list of
+mount options used to mount the underlying filesystem. If this is not
+given, then the mount options are either the empty string or C<ro>
+(the latter if the I<--ro> flag is used). By specifying the mount
+options, you override this default choice. Probably the only time you
+would use this is to enable ACLs and/or extended attributes if the
+filesystem can support them:
+
+ -m /dev/sda1:/:acl,user_xattr
+
+Using this flag is equivalent to using the C<mount-options> command.
+
+The fourth part of the parameter is the filesystem driver to use, such
+as C<ext3> or C<ntfs>. This is rarely needed, but can be useful if
+multiple drivers are valid for a filesystem (eg: C<ext2> and
C<ext3>),
+or if libguestfs misidentifies a filesystem.
