Thread-topic: [Xen-users] migrate file-based vm to lvm?
If I am thinking correct here you could dd it to an lvm partition?

Can anyone confirm? I have yet to try this as I find it easier to manage 
corporate vm structure using image files (better across the network).

Subject: [Xen-users] migrate file-based vm to lvm?



I recently upgraded storage on our (first) xen server and would like to
migrate the file-based vms I have in play to lvm-based storage... Can anyone
point me in the right direction? 

Is there a way to mount a vm image file like I would using a iso image and a
loopback device? Each vm's disk file contains a partition table with root
and swap partitions... In retrospect I wish I'd set these up independently!

Thanks for any help!

Cheers,
Tim
