As an aside, I do this all the time and it works fine.
The logical volumes are exported to virtual machines as their main disk,
so they may appear as /dev/vgname/lvname on the host which when
partitioned and presented to a guest will show as /dev/xvda{1,2,…}.
If I want to later manipulate the partition table from outside the
guest I may run parted on the /dev/vgname/lvname.
Similar is expected to work on disk image files.
Direct access in the host to the partitions on such a thing as block
devices can be enabled by using kpartx (or fiddling with offsets in
losetup, but life is too short!).
Cheers,
Andy
