Hi all,

I've got a container thas has two mount points - the root disk, and a secondary disk. Both of these are on ZFS storage that is replicated to the other nodes every minute.

1. I detatch the disk, and it disappears from the GUI.
2. I run 'pct rescan --vmid 191' on the node, the subvol is added back as unused.
3. I select the disk and click 'Remove' from the GUI, click the warning that all data will be erased, and the disk disappears.
4. However checking the storage, the disk is still listed.
5. When I try to remove it there, I'm told 'can't because VM with that ID exists'.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 on a loop.

Latest PVE on all nodes (updated this morning in fact).

Am I missing something obvious here? I'm 99% sure I've run into this situation before, but in that instance, doing a rescan once, then removing the unused disk, worked the first time.
