From a3579bfa0a209761c8526ccc96a5d6068f14768f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Levitsky Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2020 14:55:38 +0200 Subject: block/amend: add 'force' option MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 'force' option will be used for some unsafe amend operations. This includes things like erasing last keyslot in luks based formats (which destroys the data, unless the master key is backed up by external means), but that _might_ be desired result.
