[lvm-devel] [PATCH 1/4] Split vg_remove_single into 2 functions - the second part commits to disk.

Split vg_remove_single into vg_remove_check (mandatory checks before
vgremove) and vg_remove_ondisk (do actual remove by committing to disk).
The choice of the last word in these functions probably can be improved but
greps out ok in the tree.

In liblvm, we'd like to provide an consistent API that allows multiple
changes in memory, then let lvm_vg_write() control the commit to disk.  In
some cases (for example, lvresize calls fsadm) this may not be possible.
However, since we are using an object model and dividing things into small
operations, the most logical model seems to be the lvm_vg_write model, and
handling the special cases as they arrive.  So as best as possible
we move towards this end.

A possible optimization would be to consolidate vg_remove_ondisk
code with vgreduce code.  A second possible optimization is making vgreduce
of the last device equivalent to vgremove.  Today, lvm_vg_reduce fails if
vgreduce is called with the last device, but from an object model perspective,
we could view this as equivalent to vgremove and allow it.  My gut feel is
we do not want to do this though.
