Hi Bart, How about we create a generic helper in rc for creating null_blk instance ? This functionality is needed and pretty common, so that future test-cases can reuse the code instead of duplicating code all over ? e.g. For NVMe blktest category we have helpers for creating subsystems/namespaces.
