The files are only used by 1 server. We give each TF2 server its own directory.
About the file system I wouldn't know. We use a default EXT3 file system which gets installed when you install Debian Etch.

They should always be static. And be opened with the r flag, not the rw flag and only read to memory. Maybe they should lock the file to be safe. To my sparse knowledge it looks like a bug. It could maybe be filesystem related. Like changing the filesystem not to update the access time everytime, would that help? Especially if you have several servers that access the maps on the same place. I had a problem when I used symlinked data. But this was a plugin issue. I had symlinked a file that did get updated and when two servers changed map at the same time it got corrupted. Not symlinking that file solved the problem, but it was quite hard to figure out what file got corrupted, since it didnt got reported on to the screen. A reinstall of AMX where the only sollution. /Bjorn On Wed, 17 Sep 2008, Ronny Schedel wrote: > We experience the same problem with an Intel Q6600 and source games (CSS, > DODS, TF2).
