In Linux you can bind a file to a block device using: losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/file Where loop0 is an unbound loop device (most Linux installs should have at least loop0, loop1 ... loop 7). You can then specify /dev/loop0 as the device to export to the domain. When you're done, use losetup -d /dev/loop0 to remove the binding and free that device.
