Those are redundant, and yaml parser strips them in fact. By removing them, loading and saving yaml file without any change indeed produce the same output. This is useful for prepare_for_translation.py script (which adds lang and ref tags) - to produce only change that indeed was made.

title: How to Mount LVM Images
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
You want to read your LVM image (e.g., there is a problem where you can't start any VMs except dom0).
|
|
|
|
1: make the image available for qubesdb.
|
|
From dom0 terminal:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Example: /dev/qubes_dom0/vm-debian-9-tmp-root
|
|
[user@dom0]$ dev=$(basename $(readlink /dev/YOUR_LVM_VG/YOUR_LVM_IMAGE))
|
|
[user@dom0]$ qubesdb-write /qubes-block-devices/$dev/desc "YOUR_LVM_IMAGE"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2: Create a new disposable VM
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
[user@dom0]$ qvm-run -v --dispvm=YOUR_DVM_TEMPLATE --service qubes.StartApp+xterm &
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3: Attach the device to your newly created disp VM
|
|
|
|
From the GUI, or from the command line:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
[user@dom0]$ qvm-block attach NEWLY_CREATED_DISPVM dom0:$dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4: Mount the partition you want to, and do what you want with it
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
[user@dispXXXX]$ mount /dev/xvdiX /mnt/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5: Umount and kill the VM
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
[user@dispXXXX]$ umount /mnt/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6: Remove the image from qubesdb
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
[user@dom0]$ qubesdb-rm /qubes-block-devices/$dev/
|
|
```
