Hello, I would like to know if you have tips to optimize the server. Server: CPU: AMD 64 X2 7750+ (2,7 GHz) RAM: 4096 MB HDD: 250 GB SATA II (7200rpm) OS: Debian 64Bit Commandline: java -Xmx2G -server -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui Java: Code: java version "1.6.0_26" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode) We have disabled the auto-save and run every 15 minutes via cron job a save-all. Did anyone have more tips to optimize the server? Thank you
I've heard good things about using java 7. You can also put your world in a ramdisk if your disk i/o is bottlenecking.
i read the ramdisk article on minecraftwiki but on question: what happens when i try a complete serverreboot. is the data lost or stored?
Yes, if you restart the entire MACHINE the RAMdisk will be cleared. If you restart the actual Bukkit server, it will not. In order to use a RAMdisk you'd need some method of copying the map file FROM the RAMdrive TO the actual hard drive on a regular basis, or your map is toast once your server MACHINE is restarted. On our server we use a simple rdiff script run every 15 minutes.
now im using java 7 and the ram disk. but one question to the ramdisk: i u se this tut: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Ramdisk_enabled_server the files are in /dev/shm, but on wich point the files loaded into the ram? i copy a testfile(1,5gb) in this directory and cant see no more allocatet ram via "top".
