kpartx is the tool. It will create device files under /dev/mapper for 
each partition it finds on the block device you give it. Do not forget 
to unmap the partitions after you done.
Another way is to mount your /dev/vg_guest/worker1_disk as is, with 
"mount -o offset=XYZ ". Needs no mapping additional tools, but it's tricky.
