What's your longest uptime? 1580 days and counting for me...

[StuckMojo]

I've got a laptop at my colo that hasn't been rebooted since December 14 2001.

can i make it up? or do you want something real? how will you know which i choose?

what is a "colo" ?

 

[StuckMojo]

colocation facility. it's a POS too, old compaq LTE5000 with a P60:

[root@minime /root]# ll -d /proc /var/log/dmesg
dr-xr-xr-x 51 root root 0 Dec 14 2001 /proc/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.1k Dec 14 2001 /var/log/dmesg
[root@minime /root]#

the uptime has rolled over 3 times so far

why do you have a colocated laptop?

Probably for access when he's at the location?

The screen and keyboard are ******, but it makes a nice little server. Serves pop3, dns, smtp, and http for like 5 domains for a friend of mine. It also takes up almost no space. He lost his web hosting and I offered to help him out by dropping it at my colo and giving him root.

I'm not dead yet, so....

my next highest is 471 days on the firewall there:
[root@bridge2 ~]# uptime
11:27:12 up 471 days, 38 min, 1 user, load average: 0.07, 0.10, 0.05
[root@bridge2 ~]#

funny thing about that laptop, the HD has been dying for about 3 years now...i've been expecting it to die "any day now" for ages:

[root@minime /root]# dmesg | tail
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:06 (hda), sector 18374461
hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=19399758, sector=18162627

Well, I certainly cannot come close to that number - I have this annoying habit of turning things off to save electricity when not in use. So then the longest uptime is probably close to a week when I was in the college dorms not paying the electricity bill.

Hah you must get about 5 hits a month on that... there's no way 90mhz pentium can keep with serving email, http and dns at the same time. I have a 400mhz ultrasparc (64bit) that had issues with doing samba and apache2 simoultaneously

I think it does email for about 15 users and doesn't get a whole lot of traffic.

Heck, I shut down every night, and if I do a lot at work, I may re-start during the day!

Somewhere around 400 days I believe. Having to move (almost) every semester in college really limited my uptime. Wasn't dedicated enough to do a George Costanza and run it on a huge UPS during the move.

We had a file server that was up for 5 years. SCSI controller finally died on it
