cs 1.6 linux dedicated server (hlds) - FATAL ERROR (shutting down): Game listing file size is bogus [liblist.gam: size 1241736192]
Hi,
I'm trying to setup a cs 1.6 dedicated server (hlds) on linux, but i'm not able to run it, it crashes.
I downloaded with steamcmd.sh: force_install_dir ../ login anonymous app_update 90 -beta steam_legacy app_set_config 90 mod cstrike +quit app_update 90 -beta steam_legacy validate
Already tried also with -beta beta and without any beta.
When i run it, it crashes:
sudo -u hlds ./hlds_run -game cstrike -port 27015 +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +sys_ticrate 10000 +sv_maxupdaterate 100 -game cstrike +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust -pidfile hlds.pid Auto-restarting the server on crash

So after several tests, it seems the bug is when the data is on a nfs filesystem.
I runned hlds in a container, first downloading all the game data with steamcmd on build time of the container image, and it runs fine.
Then i build the container without the game data, and mounted an nfs filesystem with the game data on the container and gives the _stat error.
