FTB Maintenance
FTB will be offline for a later period today for maintenance.
Over 250 worlds have been created in Mystcraft, this is at least 250 x 9 chunks being loaded into the sever at start-up for spawn areas, and is causing the server to crash without manual intervention, according to the console.
Due to the significant problem this is causing with automatic restarts, a number of MystCraft worlds will be deleted today.
The plan of action will to delete at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the worlds by file size or last access time, starting by the smallest/oldest, this will then occur every so often to prevent the server from crashing.

They might unload after the start-up (depends on Mystcraft I guess) but during the initial loading-event (Initializing the spawns) it just gets too much memory-wise, unless I go into swap territory it wouldn't start up.
I didn't know the spawn chunks of every age stayed loaded, that's kind of like having 250 world anchors I guess.
Isn't there a plugin that modifies it so unused ages aren't preloaded and only load on demand?
Thank you for making this change Broonie. While I can see the point about getting your items, completely, I'm also glad it wll be fixed. And in a very fast manner, so thank you.
Due to the server crashing at every restart - no.
Rest assured, only the inactive worlds will be deleted if possible, if not, the smallest ones will.
Would it be possible to get some advanced warning on which worlds will be deleted? Some of us (myself included) have valuables in mystcraft worlds that could do with quickly reclaiming before the worlds are deleted.
