"convert to template" generates a warning -- why?

Here is the output:

  Renamed "vm-9001-disk-0" to "base-9001-disk-0" in volume group "pve"
  Logical volume pve/base-9001-disk-0 changed.
  WARNING: Combining activation change with other commands is not advised.
TASK OK

It was just one command to create the template:

qm template 9001

.. why is it complaining that commands were combined?

In many cases, the PVE CLI simply wraps existing tools rather than reimplementing functionality from scratch. For example, LVM management can be performed using the native LVM CLI suite, and when you run a single PVE command, it often just triggers a series of those native CLI operations behind the scenes.

In this particular case, the "command" refers to an LVM option.

Thank you for the report! There is no actual issue known with this, but a patch was proposed to split the LVM commands for the future: https://lore.proxmox.com/pve-devel/20250422133314.60806-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com/T/
