Yes :-) This usecase is quite exactly what it was intended for.

Note that "<yoursize>" in case of "virtual" can be an arbitrary value (such as
0), it will just be ignored.

True; but I'm not sure whether this is ok for Jordi or not...

I've been using the virtual option myself, but not in a
disk-but-no-partitions-use-case. So that may or may not work...

Best,
