I was playing and was disconnected to my server. When I reconnected, the status on the server said "Old". I was, though, able to connect.
But then I start at my spawn point, I have no XP and all of my tools and such are gone.
My server is running on opencalaccess.org. I am the only one whitelisted for it at the moment.
Is there any way to recover?
Ok, this is weird. I went to my server to get the logs I had seen. The server is gone.
$ cd Projects/minecraft_server
$ find * -ls
2329893 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 ray admin 4096 Dec 24 12:51 world
2330114 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 ray admin 4096 Dec 24 12:51 world/advancements
2330113 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 ray admin 4096 Dec 24 12:51 world/stats
There used to be a log directory here, The used to be a copy fo the server executable. It is all gone. And I do not think I have backups of this directory. 😞
What the heck? Your client caused my server to delete itself? How is that? That does not make sense, but I cannot think of another explanation. Any suggestions?

Ok, so it is clear my server ran out of space. So the question now is this.
An instance of the server is running right now. I can connect to it and it sees the house i built and all my chests and farms and such. If I halt the instance, will this all disappear? There appears to be no files inside the world directory, so things are not being saved. Every time I connect I start again and am at my initial spawn point.
I can get the seed for my world, but that will not get me the stuff I have built, will it?
Does the running instance of the server have only the current chunk in memory? Can I send a signal to the process which will tell it to dump its current in-memory world to disk? Will it do it if I send it a TERM signal? There is enough disk space, so if it tries to save, it will be able to.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanx.

Is it possible that my servers disks being full caused this? They are not full, but they are at 98%. Perhaps they go full and the server destroyed itself? Any ideas?
