as per https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/w6v6n9/using_proxmox_need_vm_templates_read_on/ii9cnx5/ This is to truncate the dangling machine-id left by libguestfs. The file cannot be removed, as this signals something different to the system. The recommended solution is to truncate the file. Possible machine-id locations are `/etc/machine-id` and `/etc/machine-info`. Unfortunately, if the truncate operation fails due to a missing file, it will corrupt the image. So first, touch the file to make sure they exist, then truncate them both
