Server is going down (8th November, 9-11:00 GMT)

[Dusty Lens]

We'll also be installing a new dynamo crank so the admin on duty wont have to work so hard to keep the server running.

We had to let the hamsters go.

You know, the economy,

We will try running the player database from a RAMDisk. This should reduce HDD related lags, and it also will reduce the flserver startup time from 15minutes down to around 60 seconds if I remember the tests correctly. I'll also install a UPS so the server can handle power blackouts and secure that RAMDisk is saved to a HDD during a regular shutdown.

Which RamDrive s/w are you using ?
They are a bit twitchy these things as they continuously use RAM and since non-ecc models don't have self correcting mechanisms, they may corrupt. RAM manufacturer, current speed, voltage also have plenty to do with ramdrive stability.

Is it possible to perform a hot backup of the player db ? If it's possible I would suggest running this every 15-30 mins.

Having built computers and servers from start to finish myself, I have full confidence in Majkp, otherwise he wouldn't be doing it.

There's about four database backups in various parts of the world. Do not worry.
