I was unaware that the 'file' backend used loop devices. The documentation doesn't state that.

I had to know, so I went digging for it -- see the 'losetup' commands in /etc/xen/scripts/block-file -- this setup script is called by the block() function in /lib/python/xen/xend/Blkctl.py, which is in turn called by attach() in xend/server/blkif.py, etc.
