I'm sure you're capable of cramming more game servers on a single box.
its perfectly possible, but not with the pingboost and FPS your wanting. These chew up quite a lot of processor time, and the HT is only confusing the system as to the real load level. Try it for a day. Disable HT and see what the system load is like when the PCU's arn't lying about their real utilisation. I'm betting that each of your servers is using more than half of a CPU to run. Thus starting the third instance is causing the scheduler to constantly swap threads amongst CPU's meaning you have one that fully loaded and causing lag, and another thats not (but will be in the next schedule cycle). Lets say for example you have two containers that are 100 units each. A block wants/needs 52 units. Thus two units will fit nicely into two containers, but how do you fit a third block of 52 when its indivisible? the simple answer is you cant. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
