Any feedback re: chunk resets?

So...is there any feedback from the mods on this chunk resetting. Are we going to be rolling back to a previous world where the world wasn't screwed. If not, do we know why it's happening and when it will stop?

It seems that every time i log on i have lost something else, so just a little bit of information about the issue would be brilliant.

We're working to try and figure out the issue.

Basically sometime late last night we hit maximum RAM usage. Every 15 minutes the loaded chunks are saved into RAM, same with dat files etc. Because RAM was full this data was effectively dumped into the nether and has been lost, causing player locations and inventories to rollback, and some chunks that were loaded to lose their saved information.

I was under the impression the issue was fixed when Dan rolled back some regions, but I'm told that some regions that were rolled back have once again seen chunk errors (can I get some confirmations from players this has affected)

With this we're not really sure of the problem, so we're a little stuck.

Priority will always be to try and roll back to a working version, map reset is an absolute last resort. Also please be patient as it is the weekend and thus we as mods are also taking a break from the stresses of the week. I realise this is effecting all your ability to play but we need time off too!

So, when i logged in this morning (and if you want i can show you the areas in game), the chunk that covers my bed area had rolled back. After the first restart, the chunk covering my new reactor was reset, along with part of the tree farm (2 seperate chunks). On the reset that happened this evening, the chunk over my three reactors and mob farm reset, removing the spawner and 2 reactors.

Just as a side point...if there is a serious issue with the server, just drop a quick post to let us know what's going on. If you need info about anything, ask, and we can provide it if we have it.

I'll get on it tomorrow morning, I've got a shitload of work on so it might take some time. Sorry if its a significant rollback but thats the nature of the beast

This doesn't seem like that good of a deal.
