7.3.4 Copying a File System to an LVM or RAID Virtual Device

To copy a file system from an LVM or RAID virtual device, use the following recipe:

1. Create the loop disk label on the virtual device. For example:

   (parted) select /dev/md0
   (parted) mklabel loop
   

2. Create a file system on the virtual device, with the mkpartfs command. For example:

   (parted) mkpartfs primary ext2 0 47.065
   

3. Copy the partition with the cp command:

   (parted) select /dev/hda
   (parted) cp /dev/md0 3 1
