+Subject: [PATCH] saveconfig: way for block-level save with delete command
+
+currently, we can use block-level save feature for create command and
+reconfig of different attributes, but there is no way to use block-level
+feature for delete command.
+
+This patch introduces 'save' flag (False on default), which can trigger
+saveconfig internally as part of delete command.
+
+$ targetcli /backstores/user:glfs delete test save=True
+Deleted storage object test.
