Greetings,
I am planning a root and branch cleanup and re-install of my computer's
Linux O/S.
I have done a dd copy of the partitions but find to my dismay that I
cannot mount the resultant image file using the mount command. It
complains about the LVM file image being an unknown format type.
So the partition you imaged was a PV of a LVM volume group (or something
like that)?
I would imagine you would have to use losetup to make a block device out
of the image file. Then the LVM tools might see.
