Re: [Libguestfs] guestfish emergency extension

Hello Mr. Jones, we use guestfish 1.4

we have an emergency of Data Recovery. We restored a ESXi 6.7 VMware-Image and wanted to read the data inside with guestfish. The structure of the vm is based on LVM. The first disk with the os inside a LV can be mounted correctly. Two disks a 400GB are covered in a Volumegroup. There is one logical Volume with 800GB in this VG. Guestfish does not read the filesystem in this LV. I tried ><fs>add disk1.vmdk ><fs>add disk2.vmdk ><fs>add disk3.vmdk ><fs>run ><fs>list-devices /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc ><fs>list-partitions /dev/sda1 On sdb and sdc there are no partitions. The LV resides directly on these disks. I simulated  this with partitioned disks and identically result. behavior without partitions on sdb and sdc ><fs> list-filesystems /dev/mailxxx-vg/root: ext4 /dev/mailxxx-vg/swap_1: swap /dev/vmail-vg/vmail-lv: unknown behavior with partitions on sdb and sdc ><fs> list-filesystems libguestfs: error: list_filesystems: parted exited with status 1: Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk! ><fs> ><fs>mount /dev/mailxxx-vg/root / works fine ><fs>mount/dev/vmail-vg/vmail-lv / libguestfs: error: mount: mount_stub: /dev/vmail-vg/vmail-lv: expecting a device name How can i get access to this LV? Can you help me please? Thank you very much.
