Array drive spinup when selecting VMtab

Whats up with that ?? Does it do more then just list the VM's , maybe some actual file checks etc ?  When in the morning i select my VM tab, it only comes up after 30 seconds or so. When investigating , it seems to do a spinup of my array drives, which are enjoying their sleep .

That should not happen right ? Regardless if the VM's on the list have anything on array drives or not. Even more so when they are off.

 

Also in my case have 3 active VM's only (the rest off) and these have all their files on dedicated UD.

 

Running on latest rc4

Where is the libvirt.img file located?  I can see the VM tab wanting to access that, and if it's stored on the array, then in order to locate it drive(s) may have to spin up. 

 

Possible resolutions

  • If it's stored in system and it's a cache-only share, set the libvirt image location to be /mnt/cache/system/... instead of /mnt/user
  • Install Dynamix Folder Caching
