      .Support for creation of volumes without creating a file system

      With this enhancement, you can now create a new volume without creating a file system by specifying the `fs_type=unformatted` option.

      Similarly, existing file systems can be removed using the same approach by ensuring that the safe mode is disabled.

    • Done

      Currently whenever volume is created without fs_type specification, a filesystem of default type (i.e. xfs) is automatically put on it.
      This change allows user to prevent FS creation by using "unformatted" value as a fs_type option. In the same manner it also allows to remove an existing FS. To be able to do that the safe mode has to be off.
