Does srcds on linux follow symlinks correctly? At first I tried just soft links (you can't hard link directories on linux) but the steam update tool freaked out and the games wouldn't run. Now I've got it set up using a FUSE-based filesystem abstraction called UnionFS. When I have more time I can go into detail about setting that up. I didn't use it for the sourcemod directories because I didn't really see a need. They're relatively small and it's pretty easy to just propagate the base to the individual installs with the script I posted. Also, I'd like to update SM on just one of the servers before the rest to make sure nothing breaks.
