I'm playing with partitioned filesystem image files (result of, say,
doing a fresh OS install using qemu), and need to be able to mount and
access such images which contain LVM groups and volumes.
How would one do this?
I've found one related posting to a Red Hat mailing list ~2003, from a
Kendal Montgomery:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2003-September/msg00148.html
... but he reports limited success.
Image file is partitioned as follows (yes, it's FC4, I'm accessing from
Debian):
$ /sbin/fdisk -lu fc4.img
You must set cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.
Disk fc4.img: 0 MB, 0 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders, total 0 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
fc4.img1 * 63 208844 104391 83 Linux
fc4.img2 208845 12273659 6032407+ 8e Linux LVM
I *can* mount ordinary filesystem partition (using mount's 'offset'
argument). LVM's a bit of a stumper.
Any hints greatly appreciated.
Peace.
