<p>
This script lets you export any directory you like from a virtual
machine as a tarball.  For example, to export <code>/home</code>
from a standard Fedora or RHEL virtual machine you would do:
</p>

<pre>
export2tar guest.img /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /home home.tar.gz
</pre>

<p>
<code>/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00</code> is the partition or LV <i>inside</i>
the VM which contains the directory you want.
