Is it disk i/o causing all this lag?

Is it disk i/o causing all this lag?

Pretty much as far as I can see, but to be honest, I've tried to host Minecraft on VPS from other places (like Thrust) and it's been like this with fewer people on.

Is it high CPU wait? run the command "sar".

Something like this needs to be run in RAM unless you've got SSDs or something lol.

How large are the files? Could use a ramdisk.

Just installed sysstat, wasn't on there by default.

root@hxf:~/Minecraft/cuboids# sar
Linux 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.028stab070.14 (hxf)   01/02/11        _i686_  (4 CPU)

22:35:01        CPU     %user     %nice   %system   %iowait    %steal     %idle
22:35:13        all      6.34      0.00      1.17      5.26      0.00     87.23
Average:        all      6.34      0.00      1.17      5.26      0.00     87.23

Either way, we'll try it on the dedicated server, they have a week long money back gaurantee (or longer, cant remember) if we can fix it some other way.

Yeah this is what I do on my servers. Then make a proper copy on the hard disk every 5 minutes with a cron so if the server dies I lose at most 5 mins of data. Disk i/o is pretty much 0 now.

The disk i/o looks to be the problem to me too.

I quite like the idea of a ramdisk in this case, I'm just wondering how well it would work with a Minecraft world, might have to have a play around on a private server

Pretty well imo. Just gotta get some scripts setup to back it up on the hard disk frequently and recreate it on boot if the server goes down.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE CHICKEN

WHEN AM I ALLOWED TO PLAY
