It is how it should be.
As you are attaching a partition there is no disk for the "file manager"
to identify, and scan for partitions.

Your usability concern could be addressed by automounting /dev/xvdi..,
or by using a helper script in dom0 to mount at a custom mount point
when you attach that partition to vault.
