[pve-devel] [PATCH manager 1/2] close #4369: api: optionally only suggest unique IDs

[DERUMIER, Alexandre]

Hi,

I'm very interested by this patch series too.

My 2 cents:

Couldn't we simply move the deleted vm config file
to a trash/tombstone directory ?

/etc/pve/.deleted/<vmid>.conf ?


(I could be great to be able to mass delete vms in // without having a
big lock on a file)


I'm not sure about read performance with a lof of delete vms ?


Regards,

Alexandre

The format of the used_vmids.list is simply, but can lead to
a very large file over time (we want to avoid large files on
/etc/pev/).

>    PVE::Cluster::cfs_write_file('used_vmids.list', join("\n",
> @$vmid_list));

A future version could compress that list, by using integer ranges,
for example:

---used_vmids.list---
100-10005
10007-20000
---------------------

I guess this would be simple to implement...
