Out of curiosity I thought I'd look at the L4D server to see the load. It didn't look pretty, with one core using 100% and a second 10% for just a single 4 player server with 1 player in.
This is under FreeBSD 7.0 fc4 with hacked in glibc 2.8.8. Digging around I found the following in the syslog which turned out to be the cause: linux_sys_futex: unknown op 128 linux_sys_futex: unknown op 132 linux_sys_futex: unknown op 128 linux_sys_futex: unknown op 129 Applying the following patch fixes the load issue bringing it down to a much more tolerable 9% on a 2.33GHz Core2: http://www.vlakno.cz/~rdivacky/futex_private_pi.patch See the following thread for more information:- http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2008-March/004543.html Other warnings noticed:- Reference Count for Material __particlesdepthwrite (1) != 0 File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_013.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_013.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_019.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_019.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_017.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_017.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_014.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_014.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_022.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_022.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_018.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_018.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_016.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_016.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_015.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_015.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_021.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_021.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_020.vpk was never closed File /data/games/hl2ds/l4d_demo/left4dead/pak01_020.vpk was never closed Thu Nov 6 19:19:31 GMT 2008: Server Quit Finally there's a little typo in srcds_run: PARAMS="$PARAMS -fork $NUMFORKS +map l4d_demo_hospital01_apartment" should be: PARAMS="$PARAMS -fork $NUMFORKS +map l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment" So "dem" not "demo" Regards Steve ================================================ This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
