But what was the point of that novel? Is it not called RAID-0? You mentioned what the quickest way to boost disk speed and off the cuff most people would say RAID-0 for well known reasons, you said 1. If you're right about the which disk, closest sector comment then it's just a new one one me. I don't care about RAID here though. It's not what his problem is. So enough about the side discussion. >> If he had an 8 year old 1GB IDE hard drive it *wouldn't* cause the >> map changes to take 30~40 seconds. > > Agreed.

Sure it's the slowest part of the computer but that's a given and true with *any* computer. So the point is neither here nor there. He needs to disable Metamod and blank out (read: rename) his configs and run the server bone stock. Then add the configs back in, one at a time (autoexec.cfg then server.cfg) and test again. Then enable Metamod, but no Metamod plugins, test again. Then enable AMX, probably w/o any modules enabled, test again. Then enable the modules. At this point his server will be back the way it was and should display the long pausing. But he should be able to see at what point the pausing came back. If it was with AMX, then I would try disabling groups of plugins until the pausing goes away until the offending plugin is identified. If he is using an older version of AMX (pre 0.9.9) which doesn't auto-reset the csstats.dat file, this behavior is exactly what would happen if the file gets over ~700K in size. Newer AMX versions reset the stats by default at roughly 3500 players which is roughly the max size the .dat file should be. -- - 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 _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
