+You want to read your LVM image (ex: you did some errors and can't start the VM ). 
+ 
+1: make the image available for qubesdb. (dom0)
 
 ```bash
-sudo parted /dev/YOUR_VG/YOUR_VM unit B print
+# Example: /dev/qubes_dom0/vm-debian-9-tmp-root
+dev=$(basename $(readlink /dev/YOUR_LVM_VG/YOUR_LVM_IMAGE))
+qubesdb-write /qubes-block-devices/$dev/desc "YOUR_LVM_IMAGE"
 ```
 
-Example:
-
-```
-$:sudo parted /dev/windows-vg/vg-game-root unit B print
-Model: Linux device-mapper (thin) (dm)

-Then mount the partition you want:
+2: Create a new disposable VM (dom0)
 
 ```bash
-sudo mount -o loop,offset=105906176 -t ntfs /dev/windows-vg/vg-game-root /mnt/

+
+3: Mount the partition you want to, and do what you want with it (disp)
+
+```bash
+mount /dev/xvdiX /mnt/
+```
+
+4: Umount and kill the VM (disp)
+```
+umount /mnt/
+```
+
+5: Remove the image from qubesdb (dom0)
+```
+qubesdb-rm /qubes-block-devices/$dev/
