Re: [hlds_linux] Optional (for servers) Team Fortress 2 update released
Setting it to read only isn't helping with the spikes, unfortunately. I'm not sure what exactly the debug code is doing that they left on, but the logs aren't being flushed to file immediately after a snapshot overflow so this stuff is building up in memory for a while. Fletcher also talked about network packing code being rerun after a drop, and I'm assuming this is the point that I am seeing spikes on my servers. Steamauth drops have increased quite a bit in recent updates and these seem to coincide with spikes I'm seeing.

Have you verified that the CPU usage spikes correlate to messages in the log concerning clients dropping due to reliable snapshot overflow? -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Russell Smith Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2012 12:29 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Optional (for servers) Team Fortress 2 update released Setting it to read only isn't helping with the spikes, unfortunately.

They don't correlate. Nor do the timings of the log dumps match to the timing of the actual snapshot overflow occurrences. And not all reliable snapshot overflows seem to be dumped to files. I reinstalled srcds earlier this week for both my servers, but my back up of one server shows that the netspike.txt file (which was 2GB) was last touched June 29th despite having reliable snapshot overflow errors through to July 9th when I reinstalled.

Read my previous message. The file is 2GB because it can't be bigger (don't know if the limitation is in OS or in Source engine). If you verify (tail -n 100 netspike.txt) you'll see that the last message is truncated. And the server writes so much data because it may start to log ALL THE PACKETS for a user that is not kicked from server (sets a flag to 1 and forgets about it). -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Russell Smith Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2012 8:33 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Optional (for servers) Team Fortress 2 update released They don't correlate.

Re: [hlds_linux] Optional (for servers) Team Fortress 2 update released
Ah, I didn't see your original message regarding the file size. I don't think the OS is the limitation. 16TB is the max file size for ext4 is it not? Windows admins are seeing larger file sizes than this, so it must be a limitation on the linux branch. I am at a loss as to what my recent CPU spikes are caused by if it's not this debugging code. I never had any issues before the recent updates, and even with SourceMod/MetaMod disabled I still see them occurring. On 12.07.2012 11:01, Invalid Protocol wrote: Read my previous message.

If it's such a problem just run a cron that clears or deletes it. Have you tried setting the file as read only?
