No, the OP has partitioned the virtual volume within the DomU.

IIRC there is a way to mount the device so as to be visible to the 
Dom0 as a block device (but I can't recall the command name), after 
which it's possible to work with the partitions within it. SInce it's 
been done without LVM, only the last partition on the disk can be 
resized in place - to resize anything else will mean copying the 
files elsewhere, repartitioning the device, making new filesystems, 
and copying the files back.
Alternatively, temporarily add the device to another DomU to work 
with it - slightly safer as there's less risk of working with the 
wrong block device and breaking Dom0 !

WANTED: "Software CD ROM Kit" for Canon CLBP 360-PS printer (Canon 
part no RH6-3612, or possibly RH6-3810, or RH6-3610 might do). I've a 
dead HD and need this CD so I can replace the disk and re-install the 
printer OS on it. If anyone knows where I might get hold of one I'd 
be grateful - requests to Canon drew a blank, it's been out of 
support for years.
Alternatively, if anyone has one of these and would let me image 
their hard disk ...
