Xanadu Server

[minetestjosh]

got to level 4 on one of the skyblock servers and went and checked and Xanadu is back up

[minetestjosh]

I think there's something going on over near mine and killerz's houses, possibly the crystal grass farm we made or maybe something happened with the bunnies he had bred there. But I went over there before and it crashed (typing /home) and this time I went over there and it crashed by walking by crafterlouie's house (and loading it up a bit). Might have to nuke the whole area... rip nyan cat rainbows and stacks and stacks of ore.

[Killerz]

Thats sooo depressing,You have to start from scratch again............

I moved my valuables to my house but it'd suck if it got nuked (except for ore and compressed cobble), hopefully they find the bug and don't have to do anything (I've been there before though, with my underwater house that caused glitching). What's dumb is it was fine for weeks (Cad brought 4 block stacks worth of steel of my grass at 10 per, so the farm seemed to be OK...). I think it happened because of the update.

Coords are roughly -400, 415

From what i heard, it was about 95 rabbits. (if its true)
Why would breed so many of them and put in one spot.
It was accident waiting to happen....
Disappointing...

He killed them when it was lagging, that was weeks ago and no issues since. I think it is a combo of the crystal grass farm we have and the .14 update not working well with it. Only reason I mentioned rabbits is because I saw a few there still. I don't know how breeding works so I don't think a couple of strays would do it, would it? They were friendly little strays, getting in the way every now and again, but no biggie.

Guess it's time for an epic mining trip once things are back to normal. :D

[Killerz]

Yes,i killed 92-93 bunnies, and no prob eversince,(like MJ said)and i agree wtih him that it might be our farm along with update that causes the problem.......

[Bobr]

Wow 92-93 bunnies you should of lasso them

Notice: The stall glitch in 0.4.14 servers has a patch available so we are waiting on the devs implementing this safely into minetest so we can update server and stop all the downtime...

OK, so we just have to follow this issue: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/4151.
Indeed, it seems that yesterday, a patch has been released: http://minetest.org/netfix-0.4.14.zip.
I hope it will fix the problem :)

[Fixerol]

This is unofficial patch that has mixed results... to some people it helps, to some - not.

[Killerz]

Bobr-By that time i realized that rabbits are useless(It would be easier to get watermellon)so no point in lassoing themFor example dogs and npcs are usefull even later in the game.
Lou-I bought 95 bunnies from cutecherrysuger(in my quest to get all the bunnies on the server) she sold them relatively cheap,1 gold/bunny,so i bought them.

[Killerz]

The server came up just now,i was standing(i was there the last time i logged out) in my old base area and the server crashed,This proves what josh said,that our base area is the cause.

Yeah and it's not the rabbits. Your rabbit house didn't even load in before it crashed last time I was there. It's the grass farm + something with the update.

...

Sucks. Grass farm worked well.

[amadin]

Just rollback server version to 0.4.13, i think this is not last bug in 0.4.14

[Killerz]

Server back up

[Athemonium]

And down again...

Huh,im pretty much sure its my and josh's area that is causing trouble,so i recommend everyone to stay away from thhe area around my and josh's base,he has mentioned the area in a earlier post

You must destroy it :)
Why Xanadu don't have autorestart?

[Killerz]

Ten should remove it from the map using WorldEdit.

[Bobr]

Or we should just get iska on and tell her to fence of the area

[Athemonium]

They should make a clone server and try to find out what the problem is in that area, not nuke it. It might happen again.

[Killerz]

Bobr- that doesn't solve the problem,anybody who gets close will crash the server,griefers could glitch in to crash the server, iska doesn't own the area,noob,ice,bonny,me and josh own the area,iska is a he,and it would take a long time and inconvenience to block it off,would be better and easier for ten to nuke the area

[afflatus]

It would be much better just to fix the bug. We are having exactly the same issues on Grailtest (as you know Bobr).

The reason it can't be restarted is that the server doesn't crash. It just hangs in a loop, waiting for an ACK that never gets received. Even the minetest core devs don't really know what it causing this. We are working on it, but making slow progress. It is possible to clear dodgy areas of corrupted mapblocks without having to nuke the area.

[afflatus]

If the server is crashing every time you log in, this can be fixed by getting the main admin to reset your player position. This usually requires manually editing your player file.

[TenPlus1]

Xanadu server runs on a script that does restart when server crashes or something happens... but... this STALL glitch does just that, it stalls server and makes it think everything is ok, but meanwhile no-one can do anything or sign on... I've given a solution for this on the github issue page so we'll see what can be fixed.

[Bobr]

its nice to know that every one is giving suggestions though so hopefully no server has this sort of gltch again

[Killerz]

Server back up

[Killerz]

Server down.......

[amadin]

I had stall like this on my server after moving database from Leveldb to Redis (some virtual hostings can't work correct with Redis). Maybe (i not sure) possible write script which will check server status by pinging port every 1 minute. How ping port on Linux you can read here http://xmodulo.com/how-to-ping-specific ... -host.html
