Windows Server 8 Hyper-v - Caching policy on boot drive in guest

    I noticed today that the caching policy is enabled on the boot drive in a guest VM under Server 8. In fact, you can't disable it.

    In Windows server 2008 R2, the opposite was true; the caching was disabled by default.

    Does anyone know why this changed or how to disable caching on the boot lun in a Server 8 Hyper-v guest?

    Thanks

    In current builds, it is still enabled by default but can now be unchecked.

    Thanks Chuck,

    I installed build 8370 today and I'll give it a try.

    Hi Chuck,

    I'm still unable to disable the cache in build 8370.  Do you know the build number where this becomes possible?

    Thanks
