Virutalbox is very slow to install virtual machines on HDDs

Post by Riko »

Hi guys, my computer OS is Pop!_OS 22.04, and I have two disk, first one is a SSD (EXT4) which install the OS, and second one is a 1T WD HDD (EXT4), I found when I install virtual machines with Virutalbox on HDDs is very slow, and even fails to complete the installataion.
I have tested several OS like Debian 11, Ubuntu 22.04, Fedora 37, Virtualbox on such OS is just as slow as Pop!_OS 22.04.
I also discussed with other friends and they agreed that Virtualbox is very slow on Linux HDDs.
What is the reason for this problem?
