mounting LVM VM partitions on physical host

[jhammer]

My disks are LVM over iscsi. How can I mount a VM partition on a physical host?


For example, I have a volume Group named BAK_VGPLUM. It is a logical volume on it called plumolddisk.../dev/BAK_VGPLUM/plumolddisk.

If I do cfdisk /dev/BAK_VGPLUM/plumolddisk it shows the partitions created in the VM:

Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
plumolddisk1 Primary Linux ext2 32.91
plumolddisk2 Primary Linux 1019.94
plumolddisk3 Primary Linux ext3 53702.86


If I try to mount those partitions on the physical host I cannot. I get this:

mount: special device /dev/BAK_VGPLUM/plumolddisk3 does not exist

Where would I find the devices for the partitions inside the logical volume?

Thanks.
