*** glibc detected *** ./srcds_linux: malloc(): smallbin double linked list corrupted: 0x108d2368 *** fix I am getting random server crashes.

Will rsyncing work if they are different bit types? If not I am fine with doing a reinstall but not sure how to do that remotely. I suspect that it won't, but it's possible that it would. It's worth trying before you try a new install. The new install would have to be done by choosing an .iso on th...

Switching a VDS to 32-bit Ubuntu may require that you reinstall it from an ISO. But, you could try rsync'ing the system over before doing that, similar to what we describe here: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=5045 Will rsyncing work if they are different bit types? If not...

Did you change the kernel?


Quote:
cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep HZ
You need 1000 HZ, or the server will crash with the world.


I was given the advice above. Right now everything is default which is 250 HZ.

Do you think this might make any difference?

I am also running bots with sourcemod. I have not tried it without bots but its a moot point if that is the issue because I have found it impossible to fill a server with no bot place holders.

I will try a few servers with this setup just to eliminate it as a possibility.

Since the application runs as 32-bit either way, I doubt that switching the "bit-ness" of the OS would make any difference in working around the bug. The backtrace suggests that either invalid data is being passed to realloc(), or the memory reallocation is failing for another reason. I a...

I got a response from helpdesk telling me to use -condebug instead of -debug. The servers do not crash vanilla but do crash with sourcemod on a clean install. I got a couple of -debug reports before but I am being told by folks in allied modders: "Your stack trace is too late, it's already insi...

Do you allow a large enough (such as unlimited) core size? If you don't, then you won't get a proper "core" file saved, and "-debug" will have nothing to go on. Make sure that you're testing your servers without plugins enabled, as well. I am being told to use -condebug instead ...

I have not specified a core size.
I am testing servers now with sourcemod installed without any plugins.

I am getting random crashes that do not relaunch the server. I get what appears to be a generic dump message and there are no errors in any log. I am trying to use -debug but it is not giving me any output. I tried to manually start gdb and attach a session and I get the following error: Could not a...
