Let me ask this first: what is it exactly that you are trying to do?
If
you are trying to mount a guest disk on dom0, why?
I am trying to recover the data located on my guest disk. This guest
disk is a logical volume in dom0. The guest disk and the dom0 disk are
managed by LVM each with the same naming convention
(VolGroup00/LogVol0[0-1]).
The times I've needed to access a VMs disk has been when something
terrible has happened to the VM and I've needed to mount the VMs disk so
I can recover information of try to fsck it. I do this by having a
stand-by VM that uses a different naming convention that my other VMs
use. This way I can use my test/rescue VM to mount up the other VMs
disks and fsck them, or recover data from them.
I am unclear about how I could access a LV on dom0 from a domU VM. Can
you explain how this would be done?
