Motivation

We want to create virtual machines that are representative of the physical server configuration. This means we want a pool of HDDs that we can create a zfs pool from

Solution

By creating virtual disk files on the host every time start a test run we should have clean test data (blank discs). We then "temporarily" attach the virtual discs to the virtual machine.
