I want to use a flat file system as disk instead of an image, like:

   disk = ['file:/tmp/server,sda1,w', ? ]

BTW - on top of all the other comments, putting anything important in /tmp is a bad idea, bits of it are liable to disappear without warning when your cleanup job runs. I'll leave it to your imagination how I found out how annoying that can be !
