If they are used for virtual machines, the LVM volumes are probably partitioned. You can still mount them with -o loop, but it's not recommended. You have to shutdown the virtual OS in order to take a safe backup. One way to take a backup is to convert the LVM volumes to compressed qcow2 images, like this: # qemu-img convert -c -f raw -O qcow2 /dev/nintendo/lvm1 /backup/lvm1.img -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
