Sorry for that, the changes from v2 are:

- Test cases are now part of the initial commit to make it compilable by 
itself.

- File 'unlink' now checks whether the file is already gone to avoid 
errors when removals are racing

- The code to 'unlink' the files was made a bit more concise and DRY by 
utilizing a loop

- Instead of plain 'warn' now use 'log_warn()'

- The file extensions for '.notes' and '.log' files now use constants 
declared in 'PVE::Storage::Plugin'
