I had some very strange issues running qemu/kvm with ubuntu, lacked the
time to track it down and had to move on to a different solution. I cannot
say it was qmeu/kvm or what, but that whole project was scrapped.
MAde me sad too, because proxmox and ceph were exceeding neat to manage.
but if my VM's get wonky and have issues then i cannot use that solution.
