I'm not very familiar with Xen and how it differs from VMWare. In VMWare you create virtual disk drives, so you would create a drive on the 4TB volume which is mounted as / in the guest OS and then create a drive on the 450GB volume which gets mounted as /mnt/awesome. The guest's user can then stick whatever they want in the main volume or in /mnt/awesome as they desire.
