Hi Paride,

the smoke-tests don't actually need isolation-machine.
The tests fail because firejail can't create /dev/zero:

I guess the containers are mounted with "nodev" or are otherwise preventing creation of devices.
But the same error would happen if VMs / isolation-machines were configured similarly.
