I assembled a nice machine for use with Vagrant

<bragging>Threadripper 12c, 128GB RAM, 4 NVMe, some SATA SSD and ... two 
classic magnetic disks</bragging>

The idea is that the work happens on the NVMe SSDs, Storage is on SATA SSDs 
and Archive/Backup is on the magnetic disks. I believe this kind of makes 
sense ;-). In normal operation the archive disks (magnetic) are assume to 
power down and stay this way until the get explicitely accessed.

So far for the theory.

Vagrant shows a behaviour that strikes me, though:

My archive disks go to sleep and power off after a while, that is they stop 
the spindles. Good!

The moment I run the next vagrant command, e.g. a

vagrant ssh

on one of the disks, the vagrant command blocks, I hear the HDDs (both) 
starting the spindles and once they (acoustically) appear started, I see 
the vagrant command continuing its mission. This is ... confusing and 
annoying.

It appears to me as if vagrant is checking the drives for some content or 
config before doing anything. Once the HDDs are active, there is no 
mentionable delay with vagrant anymore, but it insist on starting the 
drives before doing anything.



Could anybody please tell me, what activity makes Vagrant talk to my HDDs 
and possibly how I could avoid this. Unless I can do something about it, my 
only way to get rid of this misbehaviour would be:

1. unmount the drives when not needed (not a bad idea, pretty much 
emotet-safe).
2. mount the drives to a directory rather than a drive-letter (untested)
3. configure the drives to not go to power-safe (by noise and ecology not 
my first choice)

I really hope for a suggestions that looks better that this!

Help?
Thanks in advance!

Adrian
