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)

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.
