Hi,
Thanks for the reply. my /etc/fstab in fedora.img is set to :

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00               / ext3    defaults 1 1
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults 0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults 0 0
none                    /sys                    sysfs   defaults 0 0

Although I'm not to sure about its config. The way I decided to configure iot was that fedora.img is on the volume group: /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

Basically my main problem is understanding where things are fitting in. I've read around the topic but I'm still hazy with the details.

Is this right or wrong?

Many Thanks for your help
Shaz

I don't think making your disk available as /dev/mapper inside domU is
going to work. /dev/mapper should be a directory.

Do you have an LVM volume inside /root/fedora.img? If not, you should not
be using /dev/mapper at all for domU.
