The issue isn't bandwidth, it's seek times. Because the HDD is checking every file, J random normal read/write might be delayed.
Basically, it doesn't _verify_ all files, but it does check for their existence. I know because my (overly-complicated, but we won't go into that) config system results in the mapcycle file being missing at the start of any update process, and during my servers' daily restart-and-check-for-updates script it will always notice this and put it back. The only way I know of the avoid this would be to delete the directory and start afresh, but that may not be the most constructive advice ever ;) > -----Original Message----- > From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux- > boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of brendan halley > Sent: 14 October 2011 11:44 > To: ics; Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Updating without verifying all files? > > Sorry for being so obnoxiousness, I have never had a problem with my > HDD > bandwidth is all. > > On Fri, Oct 14, 2011 at 9:47 PM, ics <i...@ics-base.net> wrote: > > > What he wants to avoid is having hdd go read bonanza while people > play on > > other servers on games that did not update.
