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
