I have a file which is a dump of a disk partition. It has LVM on it and
a couple of LVs in the LVM, each containing a filesystem. How do I
access them? The lvm tools like lvdisplay, vgdisplay, lvs, lvscan,
lvdiskscan expect block devices and do not have the option of using a
file instead of /dev/something. I'd like to use the LVM on the file
without writing it out as a real disk partion. How do I do that?
Here you are...
