I had to take down my server because it would not stop hammering my disk drive. (4 minutes of hammering, 2 minutes break, the back to the hammering - that's with NO players)
From the server log and disk usage, it looks like KF2 Server is repeatedly downloading maps to memory then comparing them with the one in the cache.
I can't think of any reason it needs to do this. (Use the UpdatedDate! If valve was too crazy to put in an updateddate - then make hashes of the maps and compare those so you don't hammer the disk drive so much - That would significantly reduce the hammering)
Even then - why does it do it every 2 minutes?? Can we get a config setting to control the update schedule? Personally I'd want it to do it once a day at most
