Several years ago, My DoD server became real slow (up to several minutes) on map changes. My hard drive was going bad. Read/Write tests supported this. However, the data was good. After "Ghosting" the drive, (took hours for a 20G drive) the map change time returned to normal. This may or may not be the cause of your problem. Start testing.

Did you mean to say RAID-0? 1 is for mirroring. As for the closest sector remark, heh, what the heck are you talking about? If he had an 8 year old 1GB IDE hard drive it *wouldn't* cause the map changes to take 30~40 seconds. There is nothing wrong with his hardware for the type of server he is running. Unless the machine is bogged down with a bunch of junk, but even then, his problem seems more like a config file issue than anything else. -- - m0gely http://quake2.telestream.com/ Q2 | Q3A | Counter-strike _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
