It is highly unlikely that a backend will know how to create a volume from a different volume (buildVolFrom) and not know how to create an empty volume (createVol). But: 1) we call the function without any prior check so if that's the case we would SIGSEGV immediatelly 2) it's better to be safe than sorry.
