Hi everybody, I want to hear if this behaviour is normal. I have my minecraft server running bukkit version 1.4.5 Beta 2. The whole server is running on RAMdisk (except DynMap). And I have a problem with saving all the chunks with /save-on. The problem is, that everytime (once a minute?) there is a 1 sec lagg because of world saving. As I said before, server is in RAMdisk so why is it so laggy? I am using Multiverse to manage my worlds, but I cannot disable it because I need more worlds on my server. So please tell me if this is normal behaviour or if I should search the problem in my plugins. Or probably tell me a way how to get rid of these laggs. P.S.: I can tell you more details if needed.
How many world is it you've got ? Remember the more Worlds, the more time it takes to save all the chunks especially if your server has quite a few players on, you might experience a lag spike. If you're running on multicraft ? I think, then disable their world save and have the plugin that you've got (I think thats what you mean) do the job.
I haven´t got that many players - 30 online in the evenings. I have 6 worlds. But 5 of them have mostly only spawn chunks loaded (600 chunks each world?) and one main world with about 3k chunks loaded. So together it is 6k chunks? I dont know what Multicraft is. And I figured out that no plugin can save worlds. /save-all isnt working anymore. When you do /save-off, chunks never unload... Even if you spam /save-all every fucki*g second However I may do something wrong so I´ll give a chance to any advice you give me
Well, what are your server specs ? I mean, you've got quite many words, saving chunks for all of them with 30 people on can be quite.. demanding on the specs. I get a small lag spike with 30-40 people on, with just one main words, nether and the end. So, you're saving the worlds manually, yes ?
No, I am talking about bukkit behaviour. If you have /save-on (it is default), chunks ale saved into disk every ?60? seconds. If you do /save-off, chunks stop unloading and the number of chunks is only increasing. You can do /save-all but it doesn´t make chunks unload and save. So I have small lag every 60 seconds and when I do /save-off lag is done but I cant save the worlds until I do /save-on. My server is running in RAMdisk so I think that there should´t be these laggs.
I had a bit to research on this. Apparently it started happening since the beta build I think. Here's what it came up with: I haven't read the links stated above, but I think they are regarding the same issue. So, the only thing I can think of is disabling the save-on command, and/or try getting a auto worldsave plugin. If I find any I'll post it here. Had a look for the plugin; http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/autosaveworld/ Supports Multi-Worlds. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Thanks, but there is written "Performs a world saves (same as save-all on console)", but /save-all does nothing at all with /save-off
