Linux - Mount /boot using kpartx

edited Jun 5, 2018 5:04AM in Oracle VM (OVM) (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

Following doc 1944858.1 which I have done before, I can mount the /boot partition of an Oracle Linux VM using kpartx.

However, on the server I'm currently trying to fix, the disks are defined differently.

I grep for disk in the vm.cfg file and get this:

disk =     ['phy:/dev/mapper/36000d3100077550000000000000000c3,xvda,w',

    'phy:/dev/mapper/36000d3100077550000000000000000c7,xvdb,w',

    'phy:/dev/mapper/36000d310007755000000000000000132,xvdc,w']

Where I would be expecting to get the .img files like this [from the last server I did this on]:

disk = ['file:/OVS/Repositories/0004fb000003000010a0d8dd50bce6bb/VirtualDisks/0004fb0000120000e6894eeb76c8c9f4.img,xvda,w',

Howdy, Stranger!
