 - The script automatically stops the VM if it's running before creating and attaching the volume.
 - Volumes are created with full pre-allocation for optimal performance.
-- Volume files are stored in `/nsm/libvirt/volumes/` with naming pattern `<vm_name>-nsm.img`.
+- Volume files are stored in `/nsm/libvirt/volumes/` with naming pattern `<vm_name>-nsm-<epoch_timestamp>.img`.
+- The epoch timestamp ensures unique volume names and prevents conflicts.
 - Volumes are attached as `/dev/vdb` using virtio-blk for high performance.
 - The script checks available disk space before creating the volume.
 - Ownership is set to `qemu:qemu` with permissions `640`.
