use uuid in this case. The problem is that vm tap interfaces for example, use vmid in the name (tap<vmid>i<interfacenum>, and it's limited to 16characters by linux kernel. (so this should need some kind of table/conf mapping when taps are generated) ----- Mail original ----- De: "lists" <[email protected]> À: "proxmoxve" <[email protected]> Envoyé: Mardi 22 Octobre 2019 16:47:43 Objet: Re: [PVE-User] VMID clarifying ok, have read it. Pity, the outcome. Reading that the final suggestion is: using a random number, then perhaps pve could simply suggest a random PVID number between 1 and 4 billion. (and if already in use: choose another random number) No need to store anything anywhere, and chances of duplicating a PVID would be virtually zero.
