[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] fix #5946: api: disks: directory: fix unknown task status when partition creation fails

[Filip Schauer]

This shows a more helpful error status than "unknown", when the
directory creation task fails during creation of the partition on disk.
The full error message can still be viewed in the task log.

Is there a cleaner way to handle this?
