Subject: [linux-lvm] Copying a raw disk image to LVM2
Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2016 11:52:31 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160708155231.GA27423@bdmcc-us.com> (raw)


I have been hunting for some time over the past couple of days, and find
several documentss that talk about converting from an LVM2 volume to a
raw disk image for Xen, but nothing about the reverse.

I have a VHD disk file that I would like to put on to an LVM2 volume,
like my other DomU guests.

I can see using dd, but am concerned about overwriting the LVM2 header.


Does anybody have any suggestions?


Thanks,
Brian
