[Xen-users] Help mounting image partition on centos: missing /dev/xen/guest1

[Paul Nader <paul.nader@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I’m trying to mount a guest image created as a file. The guest was created with a standard centos 5.1 anaconda install so it has two partitions, one for boot, which I can mount using:

 

# lomount –diskimage=<path-to-image> -partition=1 /mnt

 

and another one which has a LVM volume group VolGroup00 on it, which I can’t mount.

 

Tried:

 

# losetup –f

/dev/loop0

# losetup /dev/loop0 <path-to-image>

# kpartx /dev/loop0

add map loop0p1: 0 208782 linear /dev/loop0 63

add map loop0p1: 0 20755980 linear /dev/loop0 208845

 

but when I do:

 

# kpartx –a /dev/xen/guest1

 

I find there is no guest1 file.

 

Should this file get created when the DomU was created?

 

If I do a vgscan it finds the VolGroup00 in the image but I can’t mount it directly because the name conflicts with the volume group in DomU0.

 

Any help please?
