The START_DELAY=(number) seems to be completely ignored in /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests which is unfortunate as it means everything starts at once without control. This is fine on NVMe based servers however on the older spinning disks the I/O is creating significant issues. Is anyone aware of any other methods to achieve a start up delay for guest virtual machines on boot? Thanks. Anthony. </div> </body> </html>
