Jay,<br><br>
Ryan or anyone at Actv, or Evenbalance ack this problem at
least?<br><br>
I am switching back to your original tar volumes Jay, and uploading them
to a new<br>
server. This server is running a 2.4 Ghz Dual, running a non SMP
kernel.<br>
I also dropped your tar on the 3.0 Ghz Dual Total Control server I just
picked up<br>
from theplanet with the SMP kernel.<br><br>
(The current box crashing (ONLY TDM) is running SMP on Dual
2.8's.)<br>
(yea, a lot of servers, but I am dumping the 2.4 and 2.8's and keeping
the 3.0 Dual)<br>
They had a special on it at 2GB, 2000GB/Mo, 100Mbs Iface VLAN, Dual 120GB
drives,<br>
and NAS backup service, Tier 1 net (level3/UUNET) 100% uptime (Yea...
right ;-)))<br><br>
Better than 5 x 9's? This is going to be a great server.... less
than 30 min down<br>
time a year? Heck, I can not guarantee that on the cores I am
designing.<br>
Then again, there is no SLA penalty. They just say
"Sorry"...<br><br>
(I wonder if they would say 100% uptime, if the SLA was a refund of 1 day
of the months<br>
charges for outages or impact that exceeds an half hour in 1 day. I
bet we would see that<br>
statement dry up quick. I am not an attorney, but one could say
this is an implied<br>
warranty... "100% power and 100% network (tier1) uptime).
Hum...<br><br>
Anyway, I sure would feel better if someone at either Actv or
Evenbalance acked the mess they<br>
made... :-( I have not seen much on punksbusted.com, cheatpolice,
CODAdmin, or any of the<br>
other staples... You heard anything?<br><br>
BTW, I noticed it appears to happen only during TWL tourns. What is
different?<br>
Friendlyfire is on, The box is password locked server, All the other
parameters I pretty much leave<br>
at TWL requirements... Once I open the box and turn on friendly
fire OFF, it appears<br>
to never crash in Public TDM mode.... Eh, my STraces look
like everyone elses... ;-)<br><br>
Cheers<br><br>

<br><br>
<dd>Gents, <br><br>
<dd>My TWL matches are killing me. It appears these crashes happen only during matches.<br>
<dd>Matches have a diff config. Friendly fire is off, etc. Here is log output. It does not die<br>
<dd>after every punkbuster shot, and it appears to be ONLY UO TDM matches??<br>
<br>
<dd>But look at it seems to gag on the code, and it is what it does for a living.<br><br>
<dd>This is killing me.<br><br>
<dd>Can anyone help? Sure looks like a PB thing...<br><br>
