Hello,

what would be the easiest and fastest way to migrate a file based DomU to a 
LVM based DomU. Given that the file contains a partition table + partitions.

I tried with an dummy approach:

dd if=/path/to/file.img of=/dev/volumegroup/logical-volume.

That gives me a logical volume that xm create refuses to use....

Reinhard
