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

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?
I would guess you could look in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf - it defines where
it looks for pv
