What is the meaning of the two different colors shown as a small circle on the disk drive icon at the bottom edge of a guest? Some times the light is green or orange but I do not know what the difference means. What is the criteria from going from green to orange.

Green means stable and Orange means activity.

Green seems to indicate activity as well. There are three states I have noticed.
1. A blinking green circle
2. A blinking orange circle
3. No circle at all. I believe no circle at all indicates no I/O.

Green = read, orange/red = write.
