I can only speculate, but essentially, completely detached disks are invisible to PVE. I believe, on subsequent actions - like disk moves, VM migrations, ... - the disk "numbers" can be reused. If there's such an old disk around, the operation might either fail or the disk might be silently overwritten. >From this PoV, I would strongly recommend against fully detaching disks from VMs. > Can I get around this via command line utility to detach the old disk? You can edit the VM definition file and remove the unusedN: line.
