This error message is wrong. The check failed, not the removal. The
check should be repeated in vdisk_free anyways and you should get the
appropriate error then below :)

AFAIU base volumes should still survive if they are still referenced by
linked clones, even when ignore-storage-errors is used (IMHO good). Is
that correct?

Nothing new and not directly related:
I noticed that for containers, we don't have this heads-up check. Maybe
worth adding there too? Arguably minor issue is that I can have a
container template with a disk on lvm-thin and a second disk on
non-lvm-thin. Even if there is a linked clone, removing the template
might remove the lvm-thin disk, and then fail, because the second disk
is referenced.

So, $removed_owned_drive already ignores all storage errors beside if
PVE::Storage::path() fails right? Can't we just add an eval around that
and be done? No need for a new ignore-storage-errors parameter. Most
storage errors are already ignored even without that parameter right
now! I don't think it's a big issue to start ignoring the few missing
ones as well?
