[Xen-users] vbdmount: a script to mount/umount virtual disks

[Alain Barthe <ab266061@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello xen users,

I wrote a script to mount/umount virtual disks. It sets up needed parttions and/or LVM,
looks for a fstab inside the virtual disks and then mounts partitions according to it.
It is useful to modify a domU (fix configuration, install packages, ...) while it is off.

It can be found at http://www.albar.fr/downloads/vbdmount.py
The documentation is at http://www.albar.fr/vbdmount_html/index.html

Here is the usage:

Usages: 
        vbdmount.py [-v] [-o mount-opts] { -f config-file | -b block-device }[:path-to-mount] mount-point'
        vbdmount.py [-v] -u mount-point 

Mounts one or more virtual block devices, expressed either as a string (flag
-b) or as a domU configuration file (flag -f).

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -o MOUNTOPTS, --mount-options=MOUNTOPTS
                        Options to be passed to the mount command
  -f CONFIGFILE, --domu-config-file=CONFIGFILE
                        A domU configuration file
  -b VBD, --block-device=VBD
                        A virtual block device path (file or LV or raw device)
  -u, --umount          Unmounts the mounted virtual block device
  -v, --verbose         Prints a verbose output


Any feedback will be appreciated, particularly for non standard configuration that does not work.

Enjoy.

Alain.
