+* `USE_QCOW2`(Default: `1` )
+
+    Instead of using traditional way of building the rootfs of every stage in
+    single subdirectories and copying over the previous one to the next one,
+    qcow2 based virtual disks with backing images are used in every stage.
+    This speeds up the build process and reduces overall space consumption
+    significantly.
+
+    <u>Additional optional parameters regarding qcow2 build:</u>
+
+    * `BASE_QCOW2_SIZE` (Default: 12G)
+
+        Size of the virtual qcow2 disk.
+        Note: it will not actually use that much of space at once but defines the
+        maximum size of the virtual disk. If you change the build process by adding
+        a lot of bigger packages or additional build stages, it can be necessary to
+        increase the value because the virtual disk can run out of space like a normal
+        hard drive would.
+
+    * `NBD_DEV` (Default: auto eval)
+
+        The virtual qcow2 disk has to be attached to a special network block device (NBD)
+        so that it can be accessed like any other disk. Normally a free device node will be
+        evaluated automatically. If you want to predefine a device node set this parameter
+        in your `config` file like so:
+        `ǸBD_DEV=/dev/nbd1`.
+
+    **CAUTION:**  Although the qcow2 build mechanism will run fine inside Docker, it can happen
+    that the network block device is not disconnected correctly after the Docker process has
+    ended abnormally. In that case see [Disconnect an image if something went wrong](#Disconnect-an-image-if-something-went-wrong)

 * `APT_PROXY` (Default: unset)

+# Regarding Qcow2 image building
+
+### Get infos about the image in use
+
+If you issue the two commands shown in the example below in a second command shell while a build
+is running you can find out, which network block device is currently being used and which qcow2 image
+is bound to it.
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+root@build-machine:~/$ lsblk | grep nbd
+nbd1      43:32   0    10G  0 disk 
+├─nbd1p1  43:33   0    10G  0 part 
+└─nbd1p1 253:0    0    10G  0 part
+
+root@build-machine:~/$ ps xa | grep qemu-nbd
+ 2392 pts/6    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto qemu-nbd
+31294 ?        Ssl    0:12 qemu-nbd --discard=unmap -c /dev/nbd1 image-stage4.qcow2
+```
+
+Here you can see, that the qcow2 image `image-stage4.qcow2` is currently connected to `/dev/nbd1` with
+the associated partition map `/dev/mapper/nbd1p1`. Don't worry that `lsblk` shows two entries. It is totally fine, because the device map is accessible via `/dev/mapper/nbd1p1` and also via `/dev/dm-0`. This is all part of the device mapper functionality of the kernel. See `dmsetup` for further information.
+
+### Mount a qcow2 image
+
+If you want to examine the content of a a single stage, you can simply mount the qcow2 image found in the `WORK_DIR` directory with the tool `./imagetool.sh`.
+
+See `./imagetool.sh -h` for further details on how to use it.
+
+### Disconnect an image if something went wrong
+
+It can happen, that your build stops in case of an error. Normally `./build.sh` should handle image disconnection appropriately, but in rare cases, especially during a Docker build, this may not work as expected. If that happens, starting a new build will fail and you may have to disconnect the image and/or device yourself.
+
+A typical message indicating that there are some orphaned device mapper entries is this:
+
+```
+Failed to set NBD socket 
+Disconnect client, due to: Unexpected end-of-file before all bytes were read
+```
+
+If that happens go through the following steps:
+
+1. First, check if the image is somehow mounted to a directory entry and umount it as you would any other block device, like i.e. a hard disk or USB stick.
+
+2. Second, to disconnect an image from `qemu-nbd`, the QEMU Disk Network Block Device Server, issue the following command (be sure to change the device name to the one actually used):
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd1
+   ```
+
+   Note: if you use Docker build, normally no active `qemu-nbd` process exists anymore as it will be terminated when the Docker container stops.
+
+3. To disconnect a device partition map from the network block device, execute:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo kpartx -d /dev/nbd1
+   or
+   sudo ./imagetool.sh --cleanup
+   ```
+   
+   Note: The `imagetool.sh` command will cleanup any /dev/nbdX that is not connected to a running `qemu-nbd` daemon. Be careful if you use network block devices for other tasks utilizing NBDs on your build machine as well.
+
+Now you should be able to start a new build without running into troubles again. Most of the time, especially when using Docker build, you will only need no. 3 to get everything up and running again.
