[ovirt-users] Mount crashed vm image.

[Grant Pasley]

thank you maor for your feedback,

i will most certainly try your suggestion wrt attaching disk to another 
vm, i have googled a bit though on the process to do this and don't seem 
to be having much success.
does anyone know where i can find the documentation for this process? 
unfortunately i did not get around to making a snapshot before the 
system crashed, so my only hope of retrieving the
data is to attach and access the image from another vm.

thanks,

grant.
