Probably has been asked before, but I'm just curiouse about some of the best uptimes you have seen, what kind of box it was, what OS, details about the OS, and what the box was doing. Is it still up? If not, did it make you want to cry, like when my box needed a reboot after a Kernel Update?
We recently (a few months ago) had to reboot one of our squid servers at work, forget the exact uptime (although I took a copy of the uptime output at work) but it was well in excess of 400 days. I was a bit sad to see it go. It's a Cobalt RaQ2 (the MIPS CPU model) running Cobalt Linux, which is based on Red Hat 4!
My best uptime at home that I remember was 111 days, which I lost when I downed my main server to move the drive hosting /home to it's replacement. The thing is having downed it, I then realised I didn't have the time right then, so just brought it straight back up. Still haven't done the work, it's uptime would be 120 days now. That's a Pentium 133 with 48M of RAM (an old Dell Optiplex desktop) running SuSE 8.1. -- James Ogley, Webmaster, usr local bin & Planet SuSE james@rubberturnip.org.uk www.rubberturnip.org.uk Updated GNOME packages for SUSE LINUX: www.usr-local-bin.org Latest SUSE News and Blogs: www.planetsuse.org
Well.. My own firewall has been up 281 day now.. And the last restart were due to a change of outlet i had to do. (the old one was overloaded) Its a Alphastation 255 running SuSE Linux 7.1 (Alpha) with a 2.4.19 kernel. Prior to the restart it was up over 300 days. The homeserver was up around 250 day until that also was moved (and hardware upgraded) So my Linux'es just ticks and ticks and ticks... :) -- /Rikard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rikard Johnels email : rikjoh@norweb.se Web : http://www.rikjoh.com Mob : +46 735 05 51 01 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
