VMware VM's taking as much as an hour to shurdown
I have a real puzzler of a problem and both I and my coworker are seeeing the same problem. I am running VMs on VMware and my VMs are taking between 20 minutes and as much as an hour to shutdown.
I have attached one of the VM logs for my 2003, x86 server
Does anyone have an idea? I am suspicious of my Seagate drive possibly being too slow.
Thanks,
Chris

I deleted a bunch of snap shots and the boot is now much faster. The disk I am running off only 1% fragmented although at one time I did an experiment and deleted all files from a drive and then copied them back and there was a marked performance improvement
Purchase a small SSD, and put your virtual machine disks on SSD, or purchase more RAM, and use a ramdisk!
Cool deal, glad to hear your performance has improved. Take care.
