New server 64 bit debian version question

[lhffan]

Im getting my new server with 12GB of ram next week. Will install debian 64bit. But get´s confused what version is the shit to use?

Cpu: Intel i7 980X

And also do i need to add any libs since srcds is 32bit?

You shouldnt need anything else to run gs

[lhffan]

Shold i run amd64 or ia64 version of debian?

[helio]

i believe IA64 is for Intel Itanium 64 bits processors, use amd64

[Peter_Pan123]

i believe IA64 is for Intel Itanium 64 bits processors, use amd64 <<< true
you need to run amd64 for 64bit
> srcds = 64bit (better)
> hlds = 32bit (better)

Thanx for the replyes... will use amd64 version

I need tips for the partitioning, is this ok on a 1 tb disk, or do you guys have a better idea?

/ 200mb
/home 1gb
/server0 100gb <-- dods
/server1 100gb <-- tft2
/server2 100gb <-- css
/server3 100gb <-- l4d2
/server4 100gb </reserved>
/server5 100gb </reserved>
/server6 100gb </reserved>
/usr 3gb
/var 200gb

don't create too many partitions. doesn't help and will create problems if you want to have more.
I would recommend only to seperate the linux system from anything else (to make a reinstall easier). I have one root and one "data" partition (mounted at /mnt/data) and several symlinks (/home -> /mnt/data/home etc.).
and 200MB for / is too small I think...

i use your resched.sh to set priority of the server but i noticed now that it changes the prority to -99 on srcds_linux... as i remember from my old box it used 98 without - infront of it.

my resched.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh

PIDS=`ps ax | grep sirq-hrtimer | grep -v grep | sed -e "s/^ *//" -e "s/ .*$//"`
for p in $PIDS; do
  chrt -f -p 99 $p
done

PIDS=`ps ax | grep sirq-timer | grep -v grep | sed -e "s/^ *//" -e "s/ .*$//"`
for p in $PIDS; do
chrt -f -p 51 $p
done

PIDS=`pidof srcds_linux`
for p in $PIDS; do
  chrt -f -p 98 $p
done

PIDS=`pidof srcds_i686`
for p in $PIDS; do
  chrt -f -p 98 $p
done

PIDS=`pidof srcds_i486`
for p in $PIDS; do
  chrt -f -p 98 $p
done

PIDS=`pidof srcds_amd`
for p in $PIDS; do
  chrt -f -p 98 $p
done

PIDS=`pidof hlds_i686`
for p in $PIDS; do
  chrt -f -p 98 $p
done

PIDS=`pidof hlds_i486`
for p in $PIDS; do
  chrt -f -p 98 $p
done

PIDS=`pidof hlds_amd`
for p in $PIDS; do
  chrt -f -p 98 $p
done

it depends on the program that shows the priority. often positive values represent "normal" scheduling, while negative values are used for SCHED_RR and SCHED_FIFO scheduling. your resched.sh is correct.

[lhffan]

ohh was worried for nothing. Thanx.

1000hz kernel, tic 100 i srcds, clocksource tsc, default priority on srcds. Hltv on.

1000hz kernel, tic 100 i srcds, clocksource tsc, Hltv on. Added idler and changed priority of the srcds process.

[BehaartesEtwas]

which kernel exactly? 1000hz doesn't make a kernel good (in fact I recommend 100Hz nowadays)

[lhffan]

atm im running 2.6.33.1-rt11

Code:

Change Timer frequency to 1000 HZ  <-- using that setting

[BehaartesEtwas]

did you try anything written in my howto in the lower sections (playing around and trouble shooting)?

[lhffan]

Yes have tried various things so far. Monday is next game day and then il turn off hltv. and do a new test. Will get back with new prints.
