wmckeigney/vdbench-8drive repository overview

to kick off run the following command, notice the drives used. I will also paste the config for one of the parameter files as the drive names matter. Ports are opened from container to the host purely for the output pushed to grafana/graphite. You can leave them off if you don't intend to use it in this manner.
