LVM on a dd image - how to extract partitions?!

jsosic

Hi guys!

I have a dd image of a / hard disk with LVM partitions on it, and now I'm puzzled - how to extract data from partitions? I thought of lo mounting, but I can't see the Logical Volumes in a VGroups

And it seems that lvscan & friends only operate on devices in /dev/ and not images (files)?

Any ideas how to do it?
