Server Maintenance for Sept. 7, Completed

Terraria service is online, might even be working a little smoother.

Added another small fry hard drive to the server to act as the pagefile; I figured this would be the most effective way to free space on the primary hard drive. Other tweaks from TweakHound were implemented to increase efficiency, if only slightly.

Server Maintenance for Sept. 7, Update 3

Terraria service is down and probably will be for another hour. Disk space is very scarce; I'm looking for ways to make that less of a problem and have less of an impact on Terraria.

Server Maintenance for Sept. 7, Update 2

Server's up, though still finishing maintenance. Assuming updates don't hang, expect performance to improve within the hour.

No need to change hard drives as the current one seems to suffice. Might play around with the configuration file when OS updates are done.

Server Maintenance for Sept. 7, Update 1

Terraria service is down, maintenance still ongoing. Might need to swap hard drives for more space, extending downtime.

OS updates are taking more hard drive space than expected. I'm trying to make the most out of this silly little hard drive, but if it gets to the point where I can't make this any more leaner,  I'll have to copy the contents to another, more spacious hard drive, which would probably add at least 40 minutes to downtime.

I'm also having to restart the physical server because updates require restarts in order to continue updating, so that's why the Terraria service is down.

Server Maintenance for Sept. 7

Server maintenance right meow, Terraria may lag, expect it to last a couple hours. While you're waiting or raging, check out the latest gamer poop from mans1ay3r.

I disabled the setting that prioritizes services over programs. Since Terraria isn't registered by Windows as a server, it's categorized as a program.

Updates automatically downloaded and installed at 3:00 AM. This will no longer happen; instead, new updates will be installed on Wednesdays at noon.
