Re: [Xen-users] Mounting Xen LVM Guests
Thanks Mark,
I tried that as well. But it does not mount.
I think what I am failing to understand here is when I create a guest on a lvm
as I did here;

What is the underlying file system type that is created?
If I try to mount it w/o a type it says "mount: you must specify the filesystem
type" When I try to mount it with ext3 it does not mount and gives this error.
