I got the loopback working and can see all the partitions in the image. Since its a volume managed device I'm now stuck. I can see the partitions but I can't think of how to get around the lvm part to mount them and see the actual contents. I'm not that lvm proficient quite yet.
I tossed FC4 when I discovered that it installs LVM by default. LVM is IMO worse than useless. I see no advantages for me, and I see problems (like yours, for example) looming in the future.
Does anybody have any hits? Anybody maybe have some experience making this type of mistake and have some advice on trying to recover the data from it?
Sorry, no.
And yes, I am now in the process of implementing a backup system :(
Well, live and learn. I suggest that, when you get yourself back on your feet, you not use LVM.
