Hi Folks,
I search for a way to mount the .img files virt-install creates for Xen
VMs. Using fdisk -lu I found it contains to 2 partitions:
# fdisk -lu /var/lib/xen/images/BaseCentos.img
last_lba(): I don't know how to handle files with mode 81ed
Sie müssen angeben Zylinder.
Sie können dies im Zusatzfunktionsmenü tun.
Platte /var/lib/xen/images/BaseCentos.img: 0 MByte, 0 Byte
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders, zusammen 0 Sektoren
Einheiten = Sektoren von 1 × 512 = 512 Bytes
Gerät boot. Anfang Ende Blöcke Id System
/var/lib/xen/images/BaseCentos.img1 * 63 208844
104391 83 Linux
/var/lib/xen/images/BaseCentos.img2 208845 8177084
3984120 8e Linux LVM
And I can mount the first partition with no problem using the offset
(start) from the partition table:
mount -o loop,offset=$((63*512) /PATH/TO/IMAGE.img /MOUNTPOINT
But I cannot mount the second partition using the offset of it:
mount -o loop,offset=$((208845*512)) /PATH/TO/IMAGE.img /MOUNTPOINT
mount: you have to specify the file system type
Even using ext3, ext2 does not work. I do not think the offset is incorrect
- I venture it is because the second partition is LVM (8e).
Did anybody out there succeed in mounting an LVM partition out of an image
file?
Any hint or help is appreciated.
Dirk
