Once in a while I post some interesting statistics about the servers that run the Soldat sites and everything. Here's a few for you this time:
Right now there is MM's server, and there is also a virtual machine that runs the lobby server.Â
MM's machine has been up and running for
202 days. It was restarted back when I upgraded it to Ubuntu 8.04 back in early April or so. Before that, it was only restarted last August when I originally built the machine. Pretty much, the server has only been restarted twice since it was built over a year ago.
It has been up for that 202 days. MySQL (the database server used for all of the sites) has been running for 113 days, and has handled over
200 milllion queries from the various sites it hosts

This past summer, I moved the lobby into a virtual machine on that physical server. The virtual machine is running Debian Etch and has been up for 60 days, and has handled over
1.04 billion queries. This is just for the lobby alone.
Query statistics: Since its startup, 1,045,878,406 queries have been sent to the server.
Total         ø per hour      ø per minute     ø per second
1,046 M     746.31 k        12.44 k          207.31
That is saying it handles over
12,000 queries per minute, ~
210 per second... for the lobby server only.
The lobby server mysql server is used for nothing but the lobby data. Every Soldat server checks in with the lobby every
10 seconds and updates the number of players, maxplayers, bots and 5 or 6 other parameters that the lobby needs to know about. Then there are also queries from users requesting the lobby, that is only one query per request.

MM's server has 4GB of RAM but only uses approximately 1GB (on average). The server uploads between
25GB and 50GB per day, mostly Soldat downloads.
I know these numbers aren't that large, as compared to a site like Wikipedia... but I'm sure some people find this interesting.
The server has 146GB of space for /home, only 22GB are used so far. The forums use 1.8 GB for the files (attachments, php files, etc) and 400MB for the database.
