Hi,
Actually, we feel the same as Gilberto.
Could proxmox not for example default to something like: highest
currently-in-use-number PLUS 1?

Folks,
When you create a VM, it generates an ID, for example 100, 101, 102 ... etc
no. when you create a VM in the GUI, it suggests the first free slot in
the guest ID range. you can choose whatever you want ;)
...
By removing this VM 101 let's say, and then creating a new one, I noticed
that it generates this new one with ID 101 again.
only if you don't set another ID.
But I also realized that it takes the backups I had from the old VM 101 and
links to this new one, even though it's OSs and everything else. My fear is
that running a backup routine will overwrite the images I had with that ID.
It would probably happen if I had not realized.
the solution is to either not delete VMs that are still important (even
if 'important' just means having the associated backups semi-protected)
Any way to use sequential ID and not go back in IDs? I do not know if i was
clear....
or don't use the default VMID suggestion by the GUI. there is no way to
change that behaviour, since we don't have a record of "IDs that (might)
have been used at some point in the past"
