Is there any possibility that I could rebuild those few chunks using MCedit or something? I've tried, but it corrupted EVERYTHING. Not just the active world, but my backup world too. I guess when everything turned read-only and data kept trying to be written to the files, it corrupted them or something. Even my 1.2 world was corrupted and stuff. | ||

TeamLiquid is an international site, so we don't care what your English ability is as long as you try. =P Anyway. EVERYTHING about the server is rolled back. All mob spawners destroyed, all buildings constructed, all items collected or used... everything was rolled back 3 days. | ||

I have a tad bit of new information (not really new, just something I overlooked before). So, it seems that after getting that HTTP java error listed above, my entire hard drive turned read-only. This would be why the people who were online reported their blocks rolling back every 5-10 minutes (that's how long it takes for chunks to save, as the game rotates which chunks save constantly). During this time I also had a backup save, which started before the read-only issue but didn't finish... so half of it ended up not writing, which corrupted it the same way the normal world got corrupted. Anyway, something I just realized is that the HTTP error + read-only issue happened literally seconds after Notch patched Minecraft yesterday. This patch supposedly changed something with the authentication system (see where I'm going with this?) I still have no idea how or why that java error caused my entire hard drive to turn read-only, but it would appear the error stemmed from whatever Notch changed in the patch yesterday (or more specifically, since the server doesn't patch instantly... whatever he changed on his website to work with the new patch). | ||

I dont know if ill find the motivation to rebuild :-( at least i got nice screenshots! So.. you went 1gate stargate and transitioned into losing your whole f*cking base? If you need help, i can assist with rebuilding when the server goes online and I am available. | ||

Wow, every single chunk was corrupted O.o That's insane... I wasn't even aware that Java could make your hard drive read-only... I think that Notch needs to focus on fixing some of these stability issues... | ||

I mean the man has a twitter, a quick "Hey, real quick make a back up of your map or I'll ruin everything" would've saved a lot of trouble... XD | ||

I still have no idea how or why that java error caused my entire hard drive to turn read-only, but it would appear the error stemmed from whatever Notch changed in the patch yesterday (or more specifically, since the server doesn't patch instantly... whatever he changed on his website to work with the new patch). This couldn't have been the case, if the drive was set to read only then the back up world stored on the disk would have been perfectly preserved. Also minecraft would have almost immediately failed to I/O exceptions, If those errors actually caused this corruption then notch has exposed a huge security issue with the JVM and/or OS for your server, which seems unlikely. Have you hear about any other hosts having this problem? I haven't seen any other victims so far. EDIT: By the way, to mitigate future damage, ( as this will happen again many times :D ) Can we set up a more staggered back up process? probably weekly archived world files, and at least two tiered short term back ups (daily & hourly or whatever increment we're working with) tbh we got off easy with only 3 days of rollback :< | ||

That being said, I was doing a manual backup anyway every few hours because I was paranoid Bukkit would somehow mess things up. The reason why that manual backup won't load is because it was halfway through writing the backup when the drive went RO, and I guess that corrupted the entire thing (the level.dat file was probably written with chunk data already, and so it tries to call chunks that hadn't been written yet when loading... which prevents the entire thing from running instead of just preventing the missing chunks). As for others having this problem, 2-3 smaller servers did but it could have just been a large coincidence. | ||
