Afterwards I did a kpartx and the partitions showed up in /dev but would not mount. Then the /dev/mapper node showed up and I tried /dev/mapper/vda1 and that worked just fine. The big problem is that my test monkey is struggling very hard to handle these new fangled VM's and is just about choking on them (It's about a 2003 motherboard). That means the testing is slow and I have to be very careful to separate out true bugs from what is just very slow hardware by current standards. I have access to remote systems of far higher spec, but I can't reach across the Atlantic to reboot them if things go awry. ;-)
