Re: [hlds_linux] hlds crashes
Right, i test-ran the system for a few days without the -autoupdate option, but servers still crash a lot, and i have no idea how or why. Is there any other method you could recommend for an online server booking service, than the one i use?

A little update, some servers seem to crash instantly just after this: Auto detecting CPU Using AMD Optimised binary. Auto-restarting the server on crash Updating server using Steam.

I'm not sure, and i'm also not sure what the issue is exactly.

Re: [hlds_linux] hlds crashes
I have noticed that in a few occations that (.so) files get corrupted and I need to overwrite them with new ones. Thats even with a graceful shutdown. 95%+ of the time its a .so in amxmod that gets corrupted, only a few times its a binary from the hlds package. I believe it has todo with that I share the .so's over a couple of servers and that I shut them down at the same time.

Re: [hlds_linux] hlds crashes
Suns grid software. Is there a seperate server image to be run on each node? or does it share the images and deliver them to whichever node requires them, as such perhaps running the same image on different nodes with different ips or hardware ids could be causing the glitch, it is likely that there is some unique identifier contained in the clientregistry.blob. hows about a dirty hack to get it working temporarily? add a line to your server initiating script to remove clientregistry.blob before the server starts ;). As to server crashes, bad maps and plugins often cause hlds to crash unexpectedly and i have not run into any issues when restarting the server, either scripted or manually, however i have no experience running the same server image on different boxes. Jonathan wrote: AFAIK they are all clean halflife installations with only cs running (this is not hl2 with cs source) The strange thing is that it all works fine for a few times if i delete the clientregistry.blob file, but then after a while the crashes start appearing again.. The way my system works is that a user on my web site "books" a server for a certain period of time. When that is done, a column is added to an sql database. A cron script on the master cluster server reads that sql table, and if there is a new booking to be made, launches a server on one of the nodes as a job submitted to the cluster. If the booking time for the server has went out, the server is shut down by the master server, ie, it terminates the submitted job. Does the hlds server need to quit gracefully in order for it to work properly the next time it's started? I mean, does hlds recover badly from crashes? I don't know how sun grid engine works internally.. if it kills hlds properly or not (i think it does). I also have a script that updates everything to the latest versions, which i run regularly. Still, i want it to work properly the normal way. Im no expert but it sounds like a bad plugin, what addons do you have on that server? Jonathan wrote: Right, that got rid of the errors ... for a couple of minutes :( I still get crashes, but instead of abort traps i get: ./hlds_run: line 303: 7169 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $CMD What can be causing this?

Can i disable the automatic update and instead schedule something as a cron job or such? The automatic update also takes some time to complete. The problem was that the ~/.steam/ClientRegistry.blob needed to be deleted.

Re: [hlds_linux] hlds crashes
I update all my server by a script, takes out the filename on all of the updated files and tar them to a tgz file. currently I manually update the servers by scp and unpacking. I only have 20 or so installed, so its not that much work. This way I have an option to go back to a previous version if the new one crashes the server. I have (more or less) every version on the hlds/cs release since the start of steam laying around on disk. Every now and then I pack the whole directory structure, so I dont have to unpack five million files to install a server. /Bjorn On Wed, 30 Aug 2006, Jonathan wrote: > Right, that got rid of the errors ... for a couple of minutes :( > > I still get crashes, but instead of abort traps i get: > > ./hlds_run: line 303: 7169 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $CMD > > What can be causing this?

Re: [hlds_linux] hlds crashes
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Sounds like an un-updated plugin. One of my clients had a problem where his server would crash every so often after the most recent update. We changed the name of the addons directory and now he has no problems with the server crashing. I'm going to assume it's just because the plugin hasn't been updated yet. By the way, the only plugin he had installed at the time was Mani...so try renaming the addons directory for that particular server and see if it still crashes. Alternatively you could update to the newest Mani version as shown on their website (if it is in fact Mani causing the problems).

I'd love to see FreeBSD binaries for HLDS and SRCDS. (Hint!) I have been running hlds and cs since 1.0 on FreeBSD and never had any real problems until the latest updates. The linux ABI is not immature, but its quite outdated. It still represent a 2.4.2 linux kernel. I would like the emulationteam to update it to 2.6.x. One of the problems is that it seems it doesnt crash, it just exists... If it where a crash I should get a coredump. And according to strace is sends a kill() to one of the processes (probably main) and closes down. I will stack up on all the coredumps that actually do get written to disk and send them to alfred. I will also send him all the output on console whenever the crash occur. I hope a lot of other issues are fixed within 6.0, so the server and therefore get the linux ABI to be running smoother... /Bjorn -- ...this page intentionally not left blank ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Re: [hlds_linux] hlds crashes
Ok, still following up on this thread, since it didnt get better with the
latest patch.
I run strace on one of the servers. And each time i get to this point:
mincore(0xbfbfe1d8, 0, []) = 0
getdomainname("^CÄ^EÀu¤Qj", 3217023440) = 0
SYS_175() = 0
fstatfs(737002488, {f_type=0, f_bsize=1, f_blocks=0, f_bfree=0, f_bavail=0,
f_files=0, f_ffree=0, f_fsid={0, 0}}) = 0
openbsd_poll(0x1, 0x1, 0x2bd26e77write(0, "\203", 1)
= 85
I also notice that the process goes to mode. which would indicate
that the parent have gone away. which can be accomplished with not using
wait() or waitpid() as they should.

Re: [hlds_linux] hlds crashes
The kernel is more or less GENERIC. All I have done is removed all unnecessary devices. In sysctl I have only enabled HT on RX300 and bumped up some values. kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=2097152 kern.ipc.somaxconn=8192 net.inet.tcp.sendspace=65535 net.inet.tcp.recvspace=65535 net.inet.udp.recvspace=65535 net.inet.udp.maxdgram=57344 net.local.stream.recvspace=65535 net.local.stream.sendspace=65535 But these have been bumped up after the crashes started to occur. in loader.conf I have upped the hz-value. On FreeBSD 6.0 it crashes on startup. I will try a different linuxbase tomorrow. I choosed suse 9.3 this time. On 6.0 I used the GENERIC kernelconfig. The only thing that is changed is higher hz-value. /Bjorn On Mon, 3 Oct 2005, Gary wrote: > I don't have any specific issues, perhaps you have a unique kernel > config?

Do you happen to have a coredump? At 05:31 PM 10/3/2005, kama wrote: I really getting frustrated with all these crashes I am getting. I've been trying to get any information on why these occur as it seems that I'm the only one that get those. This is what I have done so far. Tested on two hardware platform. FujitsuSiemens RX300 Dual 2.4GHz, HT enabled, 1GB RAM. HP DL380 G3 2.4, HT disabled, 1GB RAM. Both systems are running a recent FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE, but had the same problem when they where running 5.3-STABLE, which runned fine before the patch. linux_base-rh9, linux_base-suse5.2, linux_base-fedora-4. linprocfs is mounted. Fresh install of hlds without metamod or other plugins. tried with and without the -beta linuxbeta switch. tried with VAC2 enabled and disabled. tried with a single instance of hlds vmstats does not show any real problems. I have higher values on other machines that are comparable to those. It does not swap to disk. hlds is the only program that crashes. If it should be bad memory, other programs should occationally crash also. And it seems strange that memory should go bad on three different machines at the same time. The last line is most of the time: L 10/03/2005 - 19:54:43: "name<216><>" STEAM USERID validated which makes me think its related to VAC2 thread. Even though I have started up the server without VAC2 it still threads the same way as it has it enabled. It started to happen after the latest patchset. It does not always create a coredumpfile, so I dont have anything real to go on. This happens at least 3 times per hlds instance, most of the time it average to 5 per instance. So I end up with 40-50 crashes per day in total. I getting out of ideas on what the problem is. I've been using FreeBSD and hlds for around five years now and have never had these problems. I have also other problems that seems to be network related. Could bad packets or burst of packets where the seq id get screwed up crash the server? Probably not, I would rather suspect the threading, ie the mainprocess tries to talk to a thread that are unavailable or not responding as fast as it should. I will later try a test running it on FreeBSD 6.0-RELENG. This is probably the last test I can think of.

[hlds_linux] hlds crashes
I really getting frustrated with all these crashes I am getting. I've been trying to get any information on why these occur as it seems that I'm the only one that get those. This is what I have done so far. Tested on two hardware platform. FujitsuSiemens RX300 Dual 2.4GHz, HT enabled, 1GB RAM. HP DL380 G3 2.4, HT disabled, 1GB RAM. Both systems are running a recent FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE, but had the same problem when they where running 5.3-STABLE, which runned fine before the patch. linux_base-rh9, linux_base-suse5.2, linux_base-fedora-4. linprocfs is mounted.

I have higher values on other machines that are comparable to those. It does not swap to disk. hlds is the only program that crashes. If it should be bad memory, other programs should occationally crash also. And it seems strange that memory should go bad on three different machines at the same time. The last line is most of the time: L 10/03/2005 - 19:54:43: "name<216><>" STEAM USERID validated which makes me think its related to VAC2 thread. Even though I have started up the server without VAC2 it still threads the same way as it has it enabled. It started to happen after the latest patchset. It does not always create a coredumpfile, so I dont have anything real to go on. This happens at least 3 times per hlds instance, most of the time it average to 5 per instance. So I end up with 40-50 crashes per day in total. I getting out of ideas on what the problem is. I've been using FreeBSD and hlds for around five years now and have never had these problems. I have also other problems that seems to be network related. Could bad packets or burst of packets where the seq id get screwed up crash the server?
