]]> Comment on Running a Minecraft Server from a RAM Disk by Nameless http://kromey.us/2011/08/running-a-minecraft-server-from-a-ram-disk-452.html/comment-page-1#comment-293 Nameless Fri, 28 Oct 2011 14:27:51 +0000 http://kromey.us/?p=452#comment-293 Wouldn't you need a pause between these two lines? screen -p 0 -S minecraft -X eval 'stuff "save-all"15' rsync -a --delete-after /srv/mc/ /path/to/minecraft/files/ The screen command wouldn't wait for minecraft to finish saving, so the script would execute rsync almost immediately after sending the save-all command, before minecraft has had time to save the worlds. Wouldn’t you need a pause between these two lines?

screen -p 0 -S minecraft -X eval ‘stuff “save-all”15′
rsync -a –delete-after /srv/mc/ /path/to/minecraft/files/

The screen command wouldn’t wait for minecraft to finish saving, so the script would execute rsync almost immediately after sending the save-all command, before minecraft has had time to save the worlds.

Thanks for the info. There is a mistake in the last snippet that got me a bit crazy.

When I rebooted it didn't recognise the array, I did follow your instructions regarding using mdadm --examine --scan --config=mdadm.conf to generate the conf line however I had to manually add the raid level and number of devices for it to work. I'm glad I didn't try writing anything to it :p, added that line, rebooted again and all I'm a happy man.

I'm currently building a 4x2TB RAID 10 for my home server and your instructions made it simple and smoothe (aside from me having a blonde moment with fdisk). Brilliant post, this helped me a lot.

I did a bunch of debugging and found that the problem was caused by the FTP server in passive mode returned a local, non routable RFC1918 IP address which the FTP script was then trying to connect to - hence the timing out. I've detailed the problem and created a patch to PHP to fix this. My blog post about diagnosing the issue, fixing it and the patch available for download are at http://www.elitehosts.com/blog/ and a php bug has been opened at: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55651 Kromey,
