What for? The whole purpose of ploop is to use a file as a storage.

If your question is can a CT use a dedicated LVM partition then the
answer is yes, and it was quite possible before ploop.

My rough guess is yes you can (and again, ploop is not about it).

You can give a CT an access to physical disk or disk partition or LVM
volume or volume group using vzctl set --devnodes and then manage it
from the inside. But I haven't tried it, because I don't see any
practical use for it.
