I have a raw disk .img file (running file
indicates that it is a "DOS/MBR boot sector" file).
Running mmls
produces the following output:
DOS Partition Table
Offset Sector: 0
Units are in 512-byte sectors
Slot Start End Length Description
00: Meta 0000000000 0000000000 0000000001 Primary Table (#0)

When I try to mount partition "03", I get the error: mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
I can mount "02", but that just brings up a small MBR GRUB Parition.
Is there any way I can mount the LVM partition from the image file, or extract the data from it?
This answer really helped with recovering files from my daughter's laptop after a disk failure - thanks! – Rich Sedman – 2016-12-18T19:47:46.310
