Thanks both, I'd thought about a USB drive, but didn't have
one to
hand at the time that I didn't mind messing up. The sysfs route sounds
a bit safer though, and I can probably find one I don't need any more.
Another thought: use something like NBD or iSCSI running locally, rather
than direct loopback volumes. I'm pretty sure you could kill an NBD or
iSCSI export.
