Yes, the physical systems in the CentOS CI do not have spare,
unpartitioned disks. Creating an image file and using that as disk is
the suggested workaround.

Creating disks is pretty simple, this works just fine (needs some work
for reboot cases):

    [root at vm016 ~]# fallocate -l 1G /var/tmp/brick_01.img
    [root at vm016 ~]# losetup -f /var/tmp/brick_01.img
    [root at vm016 ~]# losetup -l
    NAME       SIZELIMIT OFFSET AUTOCLEAR RO BACK-FILE
    /dev/loop0         0      0         0  0 /var/tmp/brick_01.img
    [root at vm016 ~]# pvcreate /dev/loop0
      Physical volume "/dev/loop0" successfully created
    [root at vm016 ~]# vgcreate brick_01 /dev/loop0
      Volume group "brick_01" successfully created
    [root at vm016 ~]# vgs
      VG       #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize    VFree
      brick_01   1   0   0 wz--n- 1020.00m 1020.00m
