Since you are playing with virtual machines, perhaps you mean something like: losetup /dev/loop0 /nfs/location/to/store ... pass /dev/loop0 to a Virtual machine (likely to be slow - you probably want a SAN instead) Or perhaps you mean that "location/to/store" is an LV on another host, and the other host will boot a virtual machine from store. -- Stuart D.
