    Hi all,

    I'm currently reinstalling the USA server. It ran a crappy outdated Ubuntu Linux OS with a software raid which is causing too much performance problems, so I'm installing a new OS on it. I don't know how long this will take but it's probably gonna be back somewhere tomorrow.

    Oh, so that's where it went. I was wondering why it wasn't on the Steam Group Servers listings!

    Thats good to know.
    I didn't see the server on the listing this morning, so I decided to invade Legend's game on the normal server. Apparently I made it extremely laggy. D:

    haha

    You did. <--Epic emphasis.
    But no, the server was lagging on the Sacrifice part 2. Then it was fine on part 3 - wtf! Mind boggling stuff.

    I had a pain reinstalling this server with my own OS and custom kernel, since it didn't have console access I had to use a live recovery cd and go from there. Took me some time to get all hardware working but it finally works and it now runs the same OS as the EU server with the latest kernel which provides far better performance. I still need some time to reinstall the l4d(2) servers but it should be back up again within say, a couple of hours.

    That explains the "long loading times" that bonekeep was reporting all the time xD.

    Wow 3 replies in like.... 3 minutes at this hour :) amazes me :P

    Anyway yes, it was running some crappy old linux OS with no optimizations at all. I didn't think I could install my own OS but I managed to do it and now it runs way better.

    I need to re-create all users, do a clean L4D2 install and copy it to the other users to bring everything backup, but so far so good, it seems to go quickly so expect it to be back online in about hmmm let's say 37 minutes ;)

    Re: USA server reinstallation.

    Well I broke it as well so ;)

    Anyway, it seems a lot better now. Really small footprint now, custom kernel optimized for the hardware it's running on and optimized for Source DS, no unwanted or unneeded crap.

    And the biggest change that made the performance far better was breaking that stupid software RAID1 :evil: , so it now has the system files on one hdd and the gameservers on the other drive ;)
