By "spindle" Alex refers to individual physical HDD devices underneath the whole VM storage setup. 'Disk' a the VM level, even at the RAID level might refer to multiple or overlapping (shared) 'spindles'. Unless your AUFS/UFS/diskd cache_dir are limited to being on one "spindle" HDD, they can cause a shared HDD controller to fill up / overload and adding more cache_dir just makes that particular problem worse.
