gemcneill Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I was wondering what all the GSPs out there were doing with Reg scheduled maintenance. I was thinking about moving this to 1 a week and do a server restart, chkdsk , defrag. Is this to often? I dont want to defrag the drive to death, but I am sure that the hard drive fragmentation is high on game server drives. What do yall think?

dimitrifrom31 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Im defragging once a week, cant give feedback yet as I started monday. I used to defrag occasionaly and noticed it was taking hours so decided to make it more frequent. you can schedule a chkdsk at every boot using the task scheduler, mark the drive as dirty in a bat and restart.

Let me know how you get on and if it is actually beneficial, server-side based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcroom Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 once a week seems a bit obsessive.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santino Cid Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I would say about twice a month should be fine for both tasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitrifrom31 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I reboot once a week and I can see a real benefit on RAM usage so I decided to defrag aswell before rebooting. With game servers created/deleted + user files uploaded (new mods etc) you get some GB fragged every week and if you dont defrag frequently it then takes hours. I got HDD of 1Tb so once a week is just fine for me but may be too much for GSP with different configs/customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xp3r7 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Does defragging while peoples game server turned on lag the game server any at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeggle Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 It can, it depends on how much the hard drive is in use. The hard drive is an essential part of running the game server if it is being overly used then the game server will lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qisback Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 We personally use MyDefrag (used to be jkdefrag) http://www.mydefrag.com/ it has a set of scripts for daily, weekly and monthly defrags, each do different things. It's easy enough to schedule it as well, works a treat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
