Subject: [PATCH docs v8 21/22] pmxcfs: files: add virtual-guest/used-guest-ids
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2026 17:45:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261012154600.877830-22-m.koeppl@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261012154600.877830-1-m.koeppl@proxmox.com>
The file records the IDs of all guests that have been in use, so that
the next-id datacenter option can optionally avoid their reuse.
