Fixed in commit ee9ab52bc3e087f63dcc51d3b6ac5c79277425e1.
The new error message is one of these 3 variations:
$ guestfish --ro -a /dev/vg_data/F16x64 -m /dev/vda2:/:blahblah
libguestfs: error: mount_options: /dev/vda2 on / (options: 'blahblah'): mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/vda2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
guestfish: '/dev/vda2' could not be mounted.
guestfish: Check mount(8) man page to ensure options 'blahblah'
guestfish: are supported by the filesystem that is being mounted.

It should at least hint that the mount option could be causing the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.18.0. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.
