Hi Daniel!

Thanks for your contribution! First of some top-level feedback:

- Please familiarize yourself with the Developer Documentation [1], Perl
  [2], and JavaScript [3] style guides before contributing.
- Most importantly, if you haven't already, please contact
  `office@proxmox.com` about signing the Harmony CLA [4].
- All your patches provide the same git short message. Please provide
  more specific context for each patch and not just the the overall goal
  of your series.

I'm guessing you typo-ed the `max-1` here, as the other patches seem to
correctly use `max+1`. Please note that such a strategy is still prone
to re-use of IDs if one where to remove the VM with the highest ID.

Not sure if tracking the used VM/CT IDs in a separate file is the most
elegant solution here. Especially as this is a somewhat niche usecase.

Anyway, I'll provide some more detailed feedback in-line.

Kind regards, Shannon

PS: Please use "reply-all" when replying to me, so the full discussion
