Linux Guest VM - slow boot time due to guest addition despite software upgrades
Posted: 19. Jan 2018, 18:36
Problem: I have multiple VMs on my Windows 7 laptop. There are 2 RHEL7.4 VMs, both updated with same repos and both installed with same version of Guest Additions. One of the two always boots very slow, like 2-3 mins. The slow boot time is due to vboxadd.service.
Base OS : Win7 x64
GuestOS : RHEL7.4
VBox: 5.2.4
I have been facing this problem for last few months. I have updated both the OS and VBox softwares to no avail. I suspect this has something to do with the virtualdisk and I am at a loss of ideas how to perform maintenance on my virtual hard drives.
