Hi everyone,
I've been trying to set up a VM to read discs and dump them on to my SMB share.
I seem to have run into a problem and I feel like it'll be something that will be stupidly simple but I don't know of the tools to diagnose it so I'm sorry in advance for probably asking a stupid question.
I'm using ubuntu server 16.04 LTS since it complained the least when booting in a virtual environment, I run through the installation process that the OS provides without an issue to a 20GB zvol over a VirtIO link, once the installation has completed I remove the CDROM device then reboot into Ubuntu this is fine after one or two reboots then the OS seems to disappear I'm not sure if it is disappearing or if the BIOS can't find it since when I try to reinstall Ubuntu it can see that there is a LVM partition on the disk so surely it's a bios issue? I'm completely lost on what I've messed up and I'd be grateful for an advise on how to fix this, how to better log it or experience on how to set up a VM I'm not tied to Ubuntu just anything that works.
Thank you very much if you can help me work out what I've done wrong :)
