Well it's not for novices ;) yet I believe 'lvm2' should not be an easy
weapon for mass destruction for users data - we are then 'beaten' by rumors
from the 'other side'
>"create succeeded". Create succeeded is indicated by a 0 return code. Anything else is just noise. If the user wants noise, then need to use the '-v|--verbose' flag.
lvcreate -q is then likely wanted to be 'respected' as normally lvm2 tends
to be a bit 'conversational' command.
But I think '-q' should be respected and it's not with this log_warn().
So I think conversion to log_print() level is possibly the goal here ??
(covering both side of stories).
Since as it's been said - we emit more lines per command even about successful
'middle' steps.
