last merge create high memory usage and swap usage

[ghost]

[ObaniGemini]

It might come from the skyblock, the bugfix of the furnaces not cooking while chunk unloaded seems to create huge lags (tested with @cessna151 ).

I think we should remove it for now and try to find another better way to do it. Maybe should we take a look at the comments on the original issue ? minetest/minetest_game#395

Also, an older pull can be found here minetest/minetest_game#200 . Maybe should we also take a look at it ?

I can also reference this issue that converts ABM to node timers. They say it's better, I say "to test" : minetest/minetest_game#833

EDIT : maybe that's not furnaces, as I just noticed it lasted about 10 hours...
If that's not it, maybe should we go on a new issue :)

18h --> daily reboot :

After the daily reboot the RAM usage is good.

Need to wait an another night to see what is happening, for me, the merged as surely encounter a problem, but after the daily reboot, the server and the Minetest servers has booted correctly.

The problem can be also on the CREATIVE server, this servers is bugged and have many bugs/crash because it's not updated anymore from the classic server since a long time... (the Creative server needs a merge from classic ASAP - and keep it's creative tweaks)

I will wait this night, and see the logs.

Is swap memory the same as page file memory in Windows?

[BetterToAutomateTheWorld]

Yes, swap = pagefile

But the pagefile speed/features/performance are far from the swap speed/features/performance, because Microsoft use a "FAT" filesystem type and they don't use a special filesystem type made for this kind of thing like GNU/Linux & other Unix/BSD based Operating system use.
For a little reference, ~ the best performance Microsoft pagefile can do is ~ the worse the swap can do.

It is still unknown what caused this, although it seems to be fixed. Should we close then?

[BetterToAutomateTheWorld]

La cause est simple, lors du reboot du serveur, tous les objets dans les furnace étaient déjà dans les furnaces depuis longtemps, résultat, au reboot tous les furnaces du skyblock (3000+) ce sont activés en meme temps pour cuir leur contenu, il en a résulté l'utilisation de la RAM que tu peux voir.
Bref, le contenu de tous les furnaces étant maintenant vide, le problème est résolu.

It's simple, when the server was rebooted, every single objects in the furnaces were already in the furnace since a long time. As a result, on reboot, every furnaces of the skyblock server (3000+) activated at the same time to cook their content, and it created the RAM use you can see.
The content of the furnaces being now empty, problem is solved.
