Re: [Users] The purpose of "Wipe on delete" ?
wipe = writing zero's on the space allocated to that disk to make sure
any data once written will be deleted permanently.
so it's a security vs speed decision on using this option - since we
zeroing the disk to make sure any information once written will be
overwritten, a delete of a large disk can take a while.

Hi
What is the purpose of the "Wipe on delete" option for a VM disk ?
Why would you not want data wiped on delete if the alternative is to
leave LV metadata and other data languishing on the SD ?
Thanks
