Hi Guys,
I've an answer... Here's how I did it...
First, I needed kpartx ... so
#apt-get install kpartx
Then setup a loopback device for the raw hdd image
#losetup /dev/loop4 [IMAGE FILE]
#kpartx -a /dev/loop4
This allowed me to mount the various partitions included in the VM.
There you can modify the configs, make backups etc.
Thanks,
Hanson

Hi Sahina,
Thanks for your reply, I can copy the files off without issue. Using
either a remote mount gluster, or just use the node and scp the files
to where I want them.
I was asking how to/do I mount the VM's disk in a way to be able to
pull/modify files that are on the HDD of the VM.
Thanks,
Hason
