Server won't save blocks?
thelargestbonerr
Hello. So I just got 12w21b and I love some of the new features (ender chests, emeralds, ect) and just got my server to run 12w21b. So I can connect fine and everything, but I have an odd issue. Whenever I use the "stop" command to stop the server, all of my blocks disappear and I restart with no items at the server spawn point (not the bed I slept in).
I was very mad because I spent about 9 hours working on a huge mine and stocked up on diamonds and emeralds. My server randomly quit working and I had to restart it. When I came back, nothing I had built was there, none of my chests were in the cave, and when I made a new ender chest it was empty.
I decided to experiment a little with it. Even when I turn on/off auto saving, or do the "save-all" command to force a save, the blocks disappear when I use the "stop" command and then start it again.
Whenever I do the "stop" command, this appears (world name is 12w21b):
As opposed to whenever I stop a minecraft 1.2.5 server, then I get this when I try to stop it:
This is very frustrating, please help!
Extra info:
8GB RAM on server

It's working now. I'm not really sure why, but it randomly started working right again. I can shut off the server and it saves fine.
Thanks for the help, I hope this doesn't happen again!

I'm rather uncertain at this point without actually looking at it. If you wanted, you might be able to zip/tar the files and send them to me, and then we'd know if it was software or permissions issue.

I moved around the map a lot. I went from x = 274, y = 131, z = 151 to x = 676, y = 81, z = 781 and the size still didn't change. I've checked properties and everything, and it's allowed to write, but it looks like its just not writing correctly.

I believe those are db locations (within the file), but not entirely certain. Also, building will not affect size really, try moving around the map some.

Yeah, it's on my desktop. The 1.2.5 and 12w21b servers are in the same spot, and since the 1.2.5 server works fine I know that it can write there. And as for the size, it stays completely the same. I added probably hundreds or maybe even thousands of blocks of stone bricks and it stayed completely the same (10.7MB). I made sure I was refreshing everything so I wasn't reading the same info from the past, and it was still 10.7MB.
I did notice something though, it says:
But the part after the slash in the last 3 lines (ld@44ed904, aey@154e45b3, hq@45c1f5b2) changes every time. That was an earlier shutdown, and the one I just performed now came up like this:

Yeah, this isn't exactly the maven/herald of bugfixers and tech people on this forum, to be perfectly honest. Try monitoring the filesize on your worldfolder, does it change at all? Is it even saving anything?
Also, make sure your folder for the server is somewhere where you have permissions to write to, such as your desktop.

No, I haven't tried any others. I figured that it was probably a bug on their side, but I didn't see it on any sites telling about known bugs so I thought I'd post here.

Considering it is a snapshot, it may be a bug on their side. Have you tried using other snapshots?
