I'm kind of new to all of these and am sort of feeling my way. It seems
I was putting a default CentOS install which contains a /boot partition
and another LVM partition inside an LVM on the host. I don't know if
that's good or bad, but for now I am installing all guests as a single
root partition inside the host LVM and can mount them like so:
lomount -t ext3 -diskimage /dev/VolGroup00/vg_name -partition
1 /mnt/image
Thanks for the responses.
