The easiest thing to use is the 'lomount' utility that comes with qemu. http://www.dad-answers.com/qemu/utilities/QEMU-HD-Mounter/lomount/lomoun t.c There's also kpartx which is part of device mapper, but its rather trickier to build. I think we should pull lomount into our tree until kpartx becomes ubiquitous.
