[linux-lvm] lvmdiskscan and mouting a LVM2 loopback file

Hi,

I have setup an LVM device on loopback, but I cannot remember how to
mount it back.

I did an lvmdiskscan:

===============================================
# lvmdiskscan
  /dev/loop0 [      39.06 GiB] LVM physical volume
  /dev/root  [     222.79 GiB]
  /dev/sda5  [       9.45 GiB]
  1 disk
  1 partition
  0 LVM physical volume whole disks
  1 LVM physical volume
===============================================

But I don't know how to detect the logical volumes inside /dev/loop0.

lvdisplay and vgdisplay says:

=================================================
# lvdisplay
  No volume groups found
# vgdisplay
  No volume groups found
=================================================

Any idea how to get the volume and group back?

Best,
