VDOManagerTestClobber was a test we previously had when vdo manager was our main tool for creating and managing VDO volumes. It consisted of several sub tests that made sure we didn't overwrite existing VDO volumes on a storage device, when calling vdoformat or vdo manager commands like "vdo create".
When we moved to LVM managed VDOs, we removed this test, but we've decided since then that we would like to bring back some of the sub tests.
VDOClobber.pm is the test that attempts that to do that. It uses Unmanaged.pm, which creates VDO volumes directly using dmsetup create and also calls vdoformat directly as well to replicate the previous tests features.
