Quick question: The current root disk will be attached to the VM. I interpret that statement (along with the line before it) to mean the old root disk is replaced by a new root disk and the old root disk will be attached to the VM as a data disk, which is not the behavior.
The behavior I see could be summarized as follows: This action will restore the VM to a fresh root disk. After this action, the current root disk will be destroyed.
