I have a broken app-vm, from which I want to recover the usr home dir. I want to mount the private.img as a vol to the new working vm using qvm-block so I can copy user files in accordance with instructions here: https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2017/04/26/qubes-compromise-recovery/

This operation is indeed very easy to do: > > [joanna@dom0 ~]$ qvm-block -A --ro admin-ir > dom0:/var/lib/qubes/appvms/personal/private.img > [root@admin-ir user]# mount -o ro /dev/xvdi /mnt/personal/ > > However, the command returns err msg for 'admin-ir' argument: [David@dom0 ~]$ qvm-block -A --ro admin-ir > dom0:/var/lib/qubes/appvms/personal/private.img > usage: qvm-block [--verbose] [--quiet] [--help] [--list-device-classes] > {list,ls,l,attach,at,a,detach,d,dt} ... > qvm-block: error: argument command: invalid choice: 'admin-ir' (choose > from 'list', 'ls', 'l', 'attach', 'at', 'a', 'detach', 'd', 'dt') > [David@dom0 ~]$ > Please help with proper syntax so I can recover user data from an app-vm that won't boot.
