I make it work but dont know if this the correct way...

1- Create a new logical group
2- Insert the new LV inside the parameter disk of the KVM configuration file
3- restart windows DOMU
4- Create and format partition inside windows

Kind regards

Quite simple, use a new file or LVM partition (probably the same
choice you use for the C: disk is good) on the domU and add it
dynamically with e.g.

xm block-attach domu-name phy:/dev/vg-name/lv-name xvdb w

It should then be visible inside windows (You might need to rescan
controllers in Disk management) and can be formatted. I'm using the
GPLPV drivers and can't remember if the disk dynamically shows up when
using tehe QEMU drivers.
