First, thanks to all the developers and contributors to Qubes. This is 
incredible software!

I've got Qubes R3.2 installed into an SSD. That SSD has the following 
partitions:
/boot (Qubes)
/ (Qubes)
/UNENCRYPTED - An ext4 filesystem

I'd like to mount /UNENCRYPTED from one of my appvms automatically on appVM 
startup. So far, I can only do it manually by starting the VM, attaching the 
"/dev/sda3" device, and mounting "/dev/xvdi" within the VM.

I suspect that a persistent mount should be possible with the following code in 
the appVM's .conf file:
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='phy'/>
<source dev='/dev/sda3'/>
<target dev='xvde' bus='xen'/>
</disk>
along with an entry in /etc/fstab of the AppVM to use /dev/xvde once created.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to test this solution because:
1) If I create the modification directly in the 
/var/lib/qubes/appvms/foobar/foobar.conf file, the foobar.conf file gets 
overwritten instead of used. (I think this happens at appVM startup)
2) If I create the modification in 
/var/lib/qubes/appvms/foobar/a_different.conf, the .conf file is never 
overwritten, but my changes to the "config" entry of /var/lib/qubes/qubes.xml 
gets overwritten on any updates from the Qubes VM Manager. i.e. it's not seeing 
my dom0 'vi' edits to this file, and instead clobbers it.
3) Trying "qvm-prefs -s foobar config a_different.conf" returns "ERROR: Wrong 
propery name: 'config'"

I'm sure there's something I'm misunderstanding, and I appreciate any advice 
from the community. Thanks again!

Jon
