> When getStoragePool() in the LibvirtStorageAdapter is called it asks libvirt for information regarding that storage pool.
> In the process the StorageAdapter asks libvirt to 'refresh' the storage pool.
> Refreshing a storage pool means that libvirt will scan the whole pool and get information about all the volumes which it then caches.
> getStoragePool() is called for almost every storage operation in KVM and that causes delays.
> On big (RBD) storage pools such a refresh can take up to 2 or 3 minutes.
> The StatsCollector in the Management Server asks all the hosts about the storage pools as well, so we should only refresh the pool when the StatsCollector wants storage statistics.
> This way we keep the information in libvirt up to date, but we also speed up storage tasks on KVM.
