Hi there,
for development i use a windows vm. which is installed into a disk
image. because the compiler generates a lot of temporary files into the
user tempdir (C:\\Documents And Users\\User\\Local Settings\\Temp) the
vm becomes quite slow after a couple of weeks and i register a lot
activity on the disk.
so i moved the temp directory to a ram disk and no more problems.
but because the ram disk is not formated on startup i need to do this by
hand. so i disabled autostart for the vm and do the following:
$ sudo mkfs.ntfs -q -L TEMP -I /dev/ram0
$ sudo virsh start windows
so the question is, does libvirt provide some kind of pre startup script
which is will be executed before the libvirtd does the autostart for the vm.
