Subject: question: threads behaviour

Hi,

As ruby threads are so called green threads, what's the behaviour when
one thread is blocked on IO?
If the thread is blocked on a system call, is the whole process, ie
all threads blocked because the kernel scheduler considers the process
as blocked on IO? Are there IOs blocking a thread without blocking the
whole ruby process?

Thanks

Raphaël
