when i start the vm and execute df i see that all data is stored on a device
named xvda. i created just one partition so it is xvda1.
i´m not able to mount the logical volume in the host system anymore when the
vm is shutted down. i get the message: "mount: you must specify a filesystem
type".
what do i have to do to get access on the logical volume from my host
system? what happened here?
