+* Format the disk
+
+      mkfs.xfs /uod/idr/scratch/docker-storage.img
+
+* Create a directory to act as a mount point and bind the virtual drive to it
+
+      mkdir -p /var/lib/docker-xfs
+      mount -o loop,pquota /uod/idr/scratch/docker-storage.img /var/lib/docker-xfs

+* Mount the virtual disk when machine is restarted
+
+      vi /etc/fstab
