Hi, I have created a DomU using a logical volume created on the Dom0 called node-image, and i can see it as the device /dev/VolGroup00/node-image When i installed the OS i created a custom disk layout of a single ext3 / partition. (an odd layout, but this is for a diskless client image)
I would like to be able to mount the /dev/VolGroup00/node-image on Dom0, but i cannot work out how to create the device nodes for the partition.
So i thought i could use the xm attach-block command
xm attach-block 0 /dev/VolGroup00/node-image /dev/node-image ro
This said it had created the device but i could not see it in /dev on Dom0
Does any one know how i can mount /dev/VolGroup00/node-image partition 1?
regards Adrian

BTW, it really helps if you change the anaconda default volume names when provisioning guests. It gets confusing as hell if both your guest & host use VolGroup00 and you want to access the guest volumes from the host :-)
