Having trouble creating multipile vm with terraform

[Sm0rezDev]

So I tried to store my vm in a storage I created inside my zfspool as dataset and add it as a directory storage in proxmox called vm-data, This caused an error: clone failed: can't lock file '/var/lock/pve-manager/pve-storage-vm-data' - got timeout

But doesn't happen if I use my zfspool storage , I wanted to use directory storage because of qcow2 format I wanted to use instead of raw

Probably you are using template? Because, when you create vm via template it locks it(atleast for me for terraform).

Yes im using a template to create 3 vm's but only that 1 vm gets locked.

Proxmox should be enhanced to take a shared Read Lock when Cloning a VM from a Template. This would free up parallel cloning in Terraform using count loops.

Running single clones runs just fine. It's when there are more than 1 VM to be created.

Update: I rebooted and the lock cleared, but then was recreated, but it seems to be playing nice and I can now run Terraform creations using the count loop.
