Subject: [ovirt-users] Mount crashed vm image.
Hi all

it has been running fine until yesterday when is crashed and wouldn't
restart.

<pre wrap="">i have tried booting from cd image and repairing the image and tried redoing the boot
sectors but nothing seems to be working at this stage. my question is
can i somehow mount
this image as a partition or is there any other way to access the data
on the image without the image being up and running so that i can
retrieve the data on it?
i have installed a new windows vm and re-installed the required apps,
but need to get the user data from the crashed image now?

<pre wrap="">You can try to detach the disk from the VM and attach it to another VM.</pre>

<br>
First check the image integrity by running "qemu-img check
<image_path>" command <br>
against it. "qemu-img" also has option to correct the corruption if
there is any.<br>
<br>
You can use "<b>libguestfs"</b> to access data from virtual
machine (VM) disk images. <br>
