kama, this 5.0-current looks as stable as any -RELEASE to me. As you mentioned it's due date is reallt close and most of the core development seems to be done.
The only thisg noticed on the installation Cd is that there aren't many packages already compiled to be installed, on the categories I looked. Not that it matters, after all we have the ports, don't we ? But, back to the point, I don't really think 5.0 is the villain here; Actually, after the mentioned crash, it kept running nice and smooth, and the HLDS process was restart and was back to work again, as expected. So far I've disabled PLBot and the system seems to be running rock solid for the last 14 hours, under heavy load. For the record, here is a screendump from , while the server was idle: last pid: 2551; load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 up 0+14:52:44 07:30:09 19 processes: 1 running, 18 sleeping CPU states: 1.9% user, 0.0% nice, 7.8% system, 1.2% interrupt, 89.1% idle Mem: 71M Active, 102M Inact, 58M Wired, 12M Cache, 35M Buf, 2744K Free Swap: 150M Total, 150M Free PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 464 hlife 8 0 69692K 63956K nanslp 243:26 8.98% 8.98% hlds I again am running out of memory, which annoys me, but I am going to keep this server running and see how it behaves. I'll keep you posted. At 05:38 AM 12/5/2002, you wrote:

And yes, I am using the latest beta. FreeBSD 5.0 is in the -CURRENT-branch. which means the highely-development-probably-bout-to-crash-branch. ;p This branch should only be used for testing, and FreeBSD states that its not even close to stable. (Although it was bound to release around this date). A friend of mine got his whole system wiped when doing a new world a couple of month ago. > I am going to remove PLBot, just for a test. Do that. Im more than eager to know how the tests are going. Im thinking of going over to 5.0 too. becouse of the much better support of SMP. > Has anyone seen this "no log whatsoever" event before ? Not very uncommon. My server dont log the say message anymore... which i want to use for a quote-of-the-day message on the website. /Bjorn what does it mean when a young, lithe, and sassy girl tells you that she wants to "have your baby"? i have no babies.. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
