Igor Laskovy also had that "device-mapper: resume ioctl failed:" issue
with the "qemu-nbd" on a cirros image too,
though he didn't need the injection though and just avoided it.

That image is a simple single partition image,
and so should not need the patch referenced below.
What system are you using? If you installed libguestfs then
that should be tried as a method without need for the patch below.

The backport is trivial and already done in the Fedora/EPEL Essex packages.

I was thinking though that this was extra functionality
and so not appropriate for the official stable branch?
