Do you have LVM running ontop of file backed images?
This can be done it''s just very frustrating to do so...
It looks something like this:
First install kpartx
Then mount the image file as a loopback device (where loop0 is a free
loopback device)
#losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/image
Allow dom0 to see LVs on the image
#kpartx -av /dev/loop0
Run a vgscan:
#vgscan
Make the LVs active (where volgroup0 is the name of the volume group on the
domU)
#vgchange -ay volgroup0
The LVs should now be accessible, you can list them using the standard tools
and they should be visible in /dev/volgroup0
#ls /dev/volgroup0
Annoying but it works, I think that''s about as pretty as you are going
to
get as a partition manager.
