[linux] bundled server launcher

kyokei · April 13, 2015, 11:20:46 PM

Hey AI,

So this morning I checked the forums seeing that someone mentioned that kunix was down. Checked myself and it was.
I logged into my server and saw that the session in my screen was still active but it was stuck on saving. When checking htop I saw that all 8 cores were fully in use.

I had to manually kill the bundled server launcher.

Logs: (not sure if you can find anything usefull in there)

I have to say that when I launched it last night it was running fine.
I have started it again with the bundled launcher and will keep monitoring it during the day.

Hi!
Thanks for reporting.
It seems that was caused by a massive memory leak:
total_memory_gc_mb=2120.23
total_memory_process_mb=3268.65

The bundled server should run fine as it uses the same code, as non-bundled Mono... Will investigate it!

Regards!

Checked kunix again, indeed a mem leak - sitting idle for a little more than an hour and the ram usage was above 1k.
Switched back to the exe executable.

Goodluck

Thanks for the fast response.
It seems we should not use Mono 3.12 as it much slower on 64-bit in our case and causes memory leaks.
I will rebuild bundles with a previous stable Mono version.
Regards!

Updated to 1.2.7 and used the 64bit bundled launcher

How it works for you now?
BTW, 32-bit version is uses nearly twice less memory with nearly the same performance (and, I think, faster saves as it doesn't require serialize so much data from memory to create the savegame).

Server hasn't crashed - checked the logs, saw that people played on it.
It runs now idle at 8-10% cpu (same as 32bit one) and is now at 824 mb ram.

I wasn't yet able to play on the server yet as I wasn't home. I will have some time after work today

Great! Please send me the log file later, I want to look on the memory stats.
Regards!
