Eelco Dolstra 1f8e6d4814 * The -smb flag in QEMU/KVM is unreliable: it doesn't work without the
-no-kvm-irqchip flag, and on the Hydra machines only works on the
  rather old KVM 76.  So as a workaround, don't use -smb, but use
  QEMU's "guestfwd" feature to forward 10.0.2.4:139 in the guest to a
  Unix domain socket on the host connected to Samba.
* Use "cache=writeback" to improve performance a lot.
* Use "werror=report" to make QEMU crash instead of hang if the host
  filesystem is full.
