[Xen-devel] lomount: handy for file-backed VBDs

[Mark Williamson <Mark.Williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,

This utility (from Qemu) might be useful to anyone who has multiple partitions 
on a file-backed VBD and wants occasionally to mount them in dom0.

http://www.dad-answers.com/qemu/utilities/QEMU-HD-Mounter/lomount/

You can tell it what partition to mount out of the file and it sorts out the 
offsets, etc. by parsing the partition table.  This allows you to get around 
the loop driver's lack of support for partitioning.

May be useful to someone!

Mark
