Re: Clone a VDS; request for feature

Thank you, your help is greatly appreciated. I would be more than happy to give you direct access to the servers, but I can understand if that is not what you would want.

Re: Clone a VDS; request for feature

On the new system I did: reboot at first log-in then apt-get update apt-get upgrade then the rsync (then rebooted) I didn't see any messages indicating any issues before rebooting after cloning. The original system with lsb_release -a command says: Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 ...

Re: Clone a VDS; request for feature

OK, I added that new part to the command and don't get a list of errors. However, it is still in an endless reboot at the grub menu (I can only see it at the VNC panel).
(and I am logged in as root when I issued the command)

Any additional advice/help ?

Re: Clone a VDS; request for feature

Sorry, I am not sure where to find them. Everything scrolled by very fast. Can I send the screen output to a file?

command with >> outputfile.txt should work?

I will try it on the clean install.

Did it...now the new server is in an endless reboot cycle :?

I get some ubuntu selection menu on the VNC panel and can't connect via SSH with putty. I will try a power cycle.

Re: Clone a VDS; request for feature

Thanks, I will give that a try. I am reasonably competent with PCs, but not with unix/linux.

Clone a VDS; request for feature

Hi, I have a linux VDS server that has been set up with a fairly complicated (to me) server system and I have been unable to just copy the files and restart the services on another computer. I would like to request that a feature be added to NFO services so that a clone of the server could be create...

Re: wine on ubuntu, slow disk reads--any advice?

Thanks for your input. To be clear, I have not switched anything over. I have set up an additional server to test it out. Network and CPU performance appear to be comparable to running in a native windows VPS. Nothing on the internet that I have been able to find has indicated that I should expect s...

Re: wine on ubuntu, slow disk reads--any advice?

Yes, the server is being run in wine.

There is not a native linux server binary for this game, the dedicated server is a PC only binary.

wine on ubuntu, slow disk reads--any advice?

Hi NFO community, I run a server for an old game, the original Star Wars Battlefront, from 2004. The player base has shrunk, but some of us die-hards are still around and we use about 60 GB/month of data transfer on our Windows 2003 single core NFO server, that we have had since 2009. The new sales ...

Re: VDS and Extra IP question

Looking at my netstat information, it appears that the game opens the next sequential port when starting a server, e.g 3569, 3569, 3570, etc. (I will keep a watch out for stability issues.) So I can get what I want with just the one IP address. For others that may be interested, there is a program o...
