Re: [Xen-users] Re: Accessing an LV domU

If you are using LVM inside of LVM, then no, there is no way
to read the LVM-on-LVM without booting the guest, as far as I know.

Hi list,

I am experiencing with xen on centos5 and so far everything is going well,
I am really pleased. The domU have a dedicated LV (/dev/vg1/xenVM1,
/dev/vg1/xenVM2 etc) and the guest OS is Centos4. At guest install time I
have choosen to use LVM so that also inside the guest I have /dev/vg0/root,
/dev/vg0/tmp etc. Is there a way to mount and edit the guest filesystem to
customize files etc?
The idea would be to have a guest template that can be cloned and then
edited to generate new VMs.

Thanks, have a good weekend

Simone
