Yup, should work fine, with the caveat that it's a bit more fiddly viewing these "partitions" in dom0 (unless the VBD corresponds to a whole disk) because it won't be expecting to see partitions in a file / another partition. I don't know what dom0 would make of partitions in LVM volumes. > Also, does the XEN front-end block driver support any IOCTLs?

Generic block device IOCTLs will be provided by the kernel (whereas in 2.4 the driver had to do more of this work itself). Anything else (e.g. CD-ROM-specific ioctls) isn't supported.
