[pve-devel] [PATCH installer v2 0/2] create unique identifiers on install

[Stoiko Ivanov]

while looking into #1603 I misread and focussed on /etc/hostid, instead of
/etc/machine-id. Upon closer inspection the problem is similar for both of them:
Our installer shipped one version of the file for both ids, while it should
create them uniquely for the system.

Addionally the /etc/hostid was not shipped in the installed system, which
could lead to unimportable pools if it gets generated later on.

v1->v2
* Thomas suggested off-list to take a look at `systemd-id128 new` as a way
  to create a truly new random id (not depending on the magic with kvm UUIDs and
  dbus

Tested by installing twice successfully and comparing ids

  fix #1603: create a new and unique machine-id
  copy /etc/hostid from installer root to target
