Re: [Xen-users] Dump an image based domU to a logical volume

["Nuno L. Ferreira" <nunolf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Simon,

Thanks.
I just found out that ... kpartx tool is also able to work with logical 
volumes (I thought that it was meant only for file based stuff like 
images). Thus, even if the LV based domU has several partitions (in the 
same LV) they can be accessed individually and file edition is possible 
for fine configuration of the domU if needed.
Cheers,
N.
