fdisk -lu VPS.img

last_lba(): I don't know how to handle files with mode 81ed
You must set cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.

Disk VPS.img: 0 MB, 0 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders, total 0 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
VPS.img1   *          63      208844      104391   83  Linux
VPS.img2          208845    20964824    10377990   8e  Linux LVM
Partition 2 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(1023, 254, 63) logical=(1304, 254, 63)

Above tells you what to do next, we can see we have an LVM partition so it's more complicated (I recommend a straight ext3 partition for Xen images).

Since I have LVM I need kpartx, and here's how to mount LVM partitions from Xen:

kpartx -av VPS.img
add map loop2p1 : 0 208782 linear /dev/loop2 63
add map loop2p2 : 0 20755980 linear /dev/loop2 208845

Of course instead I could have mounted the image as normal etc...
