> When terminating a volume, openstack default overwrites the complete volume with zero’s for security reasons. This can take a long time, especially with large volumes.

> If security isn’t an issue in your environment, you can speed-up deletion to only overwrite the first 1GB with zero’s, which will then delete only the mbr, partition table and the first part of the filesystem.
