   * Server Disk Space. Indicates the amount of free space on the Blocks Server itself. This also makes sens to keep an eye on – especially before adding a significant amount of new content.   * Server Disk Space. Indicates the amount of free space on the Blocks Server itself.

   * Server Time. Shows the current time of the clock in the Blocks Server. If your server has Internet access, this is generally adjusted automatically. If not, you may want to check this every few monts to make sure that it is reasonably accurate.   * Server Time. Shows the current time of the clock in the Blocks Server.

-The SYNCHRONIZE NOW button can be used to force a full synchronization. Use this after making manual changes to the files in the /home/pixi-server directory of the Blocks server, such as updating Blocks itself or the mirroring service (the files PIXILAN.jar and MIRROR.jar respectvely). Doing so pushes those changes over to the Mirror Server immediately rather than waiting for the next scheduled full synchronization.+The "Synchtronize Now" button can be used to force a full synchronization.

 +=== Custom path to Blocks' Executable Files ===
 +The Mirror service assumes that the main Blocks executable file (named "PIXILAN.jar") is located in /home/pixi-server/, which is the case if you're using our Linux server image. However, if you're configuring a server on your own and chose to locate Blocks executable files elsewhere, you must specify the directory where PIXILAN.jar resides using the BLOCKS_HOME envirtonment variable. This is an advanced configuration option, and is normally not required.
