The Gallery server

Great I'm currently online, so you could join now

Allot of stairs from my sewer have disappeared. I don't think it's done manually by someone, because there are lighting glitches where the blocks used to be.

I think we might have a memory leak somewhere. Last time someone was online was 24 hours ago, but the memory usage is really high (413MB), and it isn't dropping.

Time to break out valgrind.

Its probably the chunk data cache. I can't find the discussion now but basically the server keeps all of the segments its allocated for chunks in a cache to reduce the cost of allocating them the next time someone logs on.

@worktycho: That could be it. Nobody has logged in since the server restarted a few days ago, but the memory usage is slowly rising. It normaly starts at ~50MB, but it's already at 140MB.

That sounds more like a memory leak. The chunk cache shouldn't increase in size if there isn't anyone logged on. If it plataus then it might be the cache being effected by the spawn. Otherwise its probably a memory leak.

It also seems that something is wrong with upside down stairs:


It's probably in the placement function, because when placed with WorldEdit they stay, but when I place them manualy and relog they are gone. There are lighting glitches though, so the server did save something.

I have upgraded the server and the plugins to current versions. I've also removed some of the empty areas, they still have the old contents, but are not claimed and will be overwritten when they are claimed.

I think something went bad with the Gallery plugin and it seems it now considers all areas locked. I'll check the DB and fix it manually, if possible.
