Hi all, I installed XCP and an VM (debian 6.0) on simics (a simulator). In simics, I have dumped the disk image file (xcp-vm.rebooted). Now, i want to mount this file to my host machine. But, i get the error that "mount: you must specify the filesystem type". I find that fdisk reports "Partition 3 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?)". Is it the problem? And, what should i do to fix it? Any hint is appreciated. Thanks! ------------------log--------------------------------- *[root@gd81 images]*# fdisk -l -u xcp-vm.rebooted last_lba(): I don''t know how to handle files with mode 81a4 You must set cylinders.
