I have no idea how operating systems work, but at a wild guess. If you're running the OS off the same disk thats threashing the io, and, its queued too many read/write operations to handle the reads for the OS? And maybe FreeBSD is just so small it effectively caches itself into memory and doesn't need the IO so it appears to function still?
Curious to know the reason.
- philliphaydon 5y agoI guess based on the downvotes I’m wrong but they also don’t know? Reason I want to know is when I tried running ubuntu off a spinning disk and wanted to move some games to the drive it would transfer about 1gb then lock up. Didn’t happen with an SSD.
- loeg 5y agoYeah, in general wild speculation (especially if it happens to be incorrect, as it is in this case) is discouraged on this forum.
