Changing EFI disk's parameters should not recreate the whole VM

[mater-345]

Hi guys,

Changing any parameter on EFI disks currently recreating the whole VM.

For example:

+ efi_disk { # forces replacement
          + datastore_id      = "ceph-ha"
          + file_format       = "raw" # forces replacement
          + pre_enrolled_keys = false # forces replacement
          + type              = "4m" # forces replacement
        }

Tested on:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    proxmox = {
      source  = "bpg/proxmox"
      version = "0.63.0"
    }
  }

Changing anything - which can be changed - on the EFI disk should just recreate the disk, and not the entire VM.

Is there a reason for recreating the whole VM?

As far as I understand the topic, removing and adding an already created EFI disk, shouldn't brick the VM, only the boot options and some BIOS settings can be lost. I tried to test this by hand from the Proxmox GUI - removing and adding new EFI disk, and my Windows VM hasn't got any problem with boot.

Thanks in advance!

I have encountered the same issue lately. Glad that I already find it reported.
