[cod] Fastfile for zone '<anymap>' appears corrupt or unreadable (code 107)

[|T-OC|Morpheus|:.Web]

Hi ronny,

I'm running 2 game servers on a 32bit Etch with a manually compiled 
2.6.25 kernel (with 1000Hz timer, and optimized for Core2 ;) ), one is 
stock, other is modded (war server, with PAM4 mod). No problem with any 
of them. Like it has been proposed, maybe the hard drive is going to die 
with your data, so if you host your own server, give a try with another one.

Also check if you have some automated tasks that run scripts to backup 
your logfiles (I had a problem with a bad-written script, the binary was 
emptied every day).

Having the process running without pingable server is kind of normal 
with the CoD series (as far as you don't have a map loaded, the server 
does not appear). Have you tried running the server on foreground (with 
no escape characters like the '&' or 'with start-stop-daemon' or 
'screen' methods) and try entering commands directly to load a map ?
