Title: Warning about pvesm free Command - Suggestion for Renaming and Documentation Update
Hello Proxmox Community,
I want to highlight an important issue regarding the pvesm free command. This command, designed to delete a storage volume by its ID, permanently removes data, which could lead to critical data loss if not used cautiously. The current name, free, might imply merely freeing up space rather than deleting data, which could be misleading.
To prevent accidental data loss, I suggest renaming the command to pvesm delvol to more accurately reflect its functionality. Additionally, the Proxmox documentation, specifically the Storage Wiki page, should be updated to clearly communicate the potential risks associated with this command.
Please exercise extreme caution when using pvesm free and always ensure backups are in place before proceeding with data deletion operations.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Let's work together to maintain Proxmox VE as a secure and reliable solution for everyone.
Note: Unfortunately, we don't have the capability to edit the Proxmox Wiki directly, but raising awareness within the community can help prompt necessary changes.
