I apologize if this has been asked before but I was unable to find any references to it in the mailing list archives and googling around isn't helping much. Is there a way to directly mount, bypassing LVM, a ext3 partition that resides in a LVM LV and VG? It resides on one PV. The problem is that I have read-only copies of VM's that are backed up via a SAN based snapshot/backup tool. I'm trying to create a method to allow the VM admins to restore their files from the snapshot backed up VM's. I'm at the point where I can access the partitions and can mount the ext3 partitions fine but I'm having trouble with the LVM volumes because I can't import the pv/vg because they have the same name/uuid as the existing VG (it's really the same system) and I can't change them with something like vgimportclone because the backed up vm image files are read-only. Thanks for any help. -- Romeo Theriault _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
