As my machine's disk was dying I made a backup using Clonezilla Live
-----------version---------------------------
clonezilla-live-1.2.6-59-amd64
This Clonezilla live iso file was created by this command:
ocs-iso -s -i 1.2.6-59-amd64
This is the list of files created by the backup
-----files---------------
disk
Info-dmi.txt
Info-lshw.txt
Info-lspci.txt
Info-packages.txt
lvm_logv.list
lvm_vg_dev.list
lvm_VolGroup.conf
parts
sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.* (I omit full list)
VolGroup-lv_home.ext4-ptcl-img.gz.* (I omit full list)
VolGroup-lv_root.ext4-ptcl-img.gz.* (I omit full list)
So far I have manually created disk image files following the instructions for the
ntfs and ext4 (sda1 and sda2, respectively) using cat, gzip and partclone.restore.
I mount these with loop and pick a few files to recover.
My question is if there is a similar procedure for dealing with the LVM2
pieces? I would like to process the pieces so that I can ultimately
create a mountable disk image (not under LVM control).
Is there a recipe that I can follow?
Thanks very much.

I suggest that you use the same method, but reverse way to restore the image you have saved to the disk, i.e.
use cat, gzip and partclone to restore the image.
