I forget the exact status in the CPU column of the System Monitor (in KDE Plasma), but it said basically that my HDD was in sleep mode at the same time the game RUST froze up, but shows CPU usage for other tasks. It does that after a while of playing and is somewhat random. Sometimes it is when I am just standing there in game and doing nothing, or sometimes after a couple hours of play, and sometimes after minutes of play.
I am new to Arch and I am wondering if, even though a task is running in memory and may not be performing IO to the disk for a while, does the HDD shut down? Is there a way to stop it from doing that?
Thanks!
