Hi Guys,
I've an answer... Here's how I did it...
First, I needed kpartx ... so
#apt-get install kpartx
Then setup a loopback device for the raw hdd image
#losetup /dev/loop4 [IMAGE FILE]
#kpartx -a /dev/loop4
This allowed me to mount the various partitions included in the VM.
There you can modify the configs, make backups etc.
Thanks,
Hanson

Hi Sahina,
Thanks for your reply, I can copy the files off without issue. Using
either a remote mount gluster, or just use the node and scp the files
to where I want them.
I was asking how to/do I mount the VM's disk in a way to be able to
pull/modify files that are on the HDD of the VM.
Thanks,
Hason

Hi Guys,
My engine has corrupted, and while waiting for help, I'd like to
see if I can pull some data off the VM's to re purpose back onto
dedicated hardware.
Our setup is/was a gluster based storage system for VM's. The
gluster data storage I'm assuming is okay, I think the hosted
engine is hosed, and needs restored, but that's another thread.
I can copy the raw disk file off of the gluster data domain.
What's the best way to mount it short of importing it into
another gluster domain?
With vmware, we can grab the disk file and move it from server to
server without issue. You can mount and explore contents with
workstation.
If you want to copy the image file. you can mount the gluster volume
and copy it.
using mount -t glusterfs <gluster-server>:/<volumename> <path-to-mount>
What do we have available to us for ovirt?
Thanks,
