Subject: [PATCH storage v10 1/6] lvm: saferemove: keep LVs where zero-out failed for manual zero-out
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 14:37:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721123724.45395-2-l.sichert@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721123724.45395-1-l.sichert@proxmox.com>
Currently even if 'zeroout' fails, the LV is removed and can't be zeroed
out manually later.
Let zeroing errors propagate from the secure delete command, and rename
failed removals to a 'failed-<N>-del-*' LV name instead of immediately
removing them.
