VM creation failed with the error "rbd: create error: (17) File exists"

[sudomaster.ljs]

Hello,

I am creating VMs from backup with fresh VM IDs, I can confirm that none of those IDs were pre-used. But it throws below error when creating VMs. I tried to create 15 VMs, 3 of them failed with the same error.

What could be the issue, any hints please?

Thanks

Hi,
please share the output of pveversion -v and the configuration in the backup (there is a Show configuration button when you select the backup in the UI). What does rbd -p <your pool name> ls | grep cloudinit show?
