I got the loopback working and can see all the partitions in the
image. Since its a volume managed device I'm now stuck. I can see the
partitions but I can't think of how to get around the lvm part to
mount them and see the actual contents. I'm not that lvm proficient
quite yet.
I tossed FC4 when I discovered that it installs LVM by default. LVM is
IMO worse than useless. I see no advantages for me, and I see problems
(like yours, for example) looming in the future.
I for one like LVM. Until I can get multi-Terabyte drives, LVM is the
best way to go. As with any issue, there are pros and cons. At least
with LVM, I don't have to spend time moving this and that and linking
drives around when things get full.
