Re: [Xen-users] Access guest data from host

[Matthias Ableitner <spam@xxxxxxx>]

ex.:

kpartx -a /dev/vg/harddiskpartition
mount /dev/mapper/harddiskpartition1 /mnt/tmp

if you want this to do when domU is online, then create a snapshot (in 
the hope, the filesystem is ok). With windows 2003 as domU, this crashes 
qemu-dm, so be careful. (see 
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1038 )
scp/rsync/cp (programs on the domU) are a nice solution too.

kpartx is a tool from the multipath-tools and creates devicemapper 
entries from the partition table on harddiskpartition.
