To make the beta varnish instances as close to production as possible, we should use an XFS disk to hold the cached data. Mark proposed to craft some image under /dev/vdb and do a loopback mount of them where the production manifests expect them (aka /srv/sda3 , /srv/sdb3 ).
/dev/vdb should be mounted somewhere, a file of a given size is created there using dd and then we can mkfs it and finally have puppet mount it with something like:
mount -t xfs /some/file.img /srv/sda3 -o loopback,...
That will let us get rid of some labs exception in the puppet manifests.
