Alef/ArmA Linux Server – User

Use a VFAT partition to hold ArmA files. This remove the need to use a tolower script/program. VFAT doesn't allow links. If required, one can use mount --bind.

My setup:

  • arma system user, /home/arma
  • game root dir in /home/arma/arma-server mounted over the VFAT device/partition
  • mount params for VFAT rw user arma
  • lot of symlinks to VFAT's cfg/config/profiles/logs files in /home/arma
  • custom /etc/init.d/arma-server script runnable by arma with parameters to start/stop/etc.
  • init.d script writes server's outputs 2>&1 to an output log file
