Some jackass put too much load on the breaker shared with one of my domino servers and it popped. Of course the battery backup didn't last long enough and the server ended up going down.

Final uptime: 562 days

Another domino server

ohhhh it's on

i'm just about to head in to work, i've got some fuckers that haven't been bounced for 3-4 YEARS.

7/3/2008 10:21:49 AM

if they've been up since you were in HS and definitely not working there - def. shouldn't count

7/3/2008 10:24:34 AM

aw damn

Once again, I believe BobbyDigital is still holding this cake.

had to reboot a bunch of linux boxes a few months ago for kernel updates:

pffff. network gear doesn't count.

Server I set up in my parent's house. Went online January 2000. Came offline this year. Never rebooted. Total uptime about 8 years, 4 months. Had to scrap it because about 5 of the SCSI drives shit the bed.

(Compaq Proliant 5500R server)

i've made it to about 1.5 years one time on a server at work

ummmmmmmmm

well my Vista home computer went 6 months 3 days without restarting ending earlier this year

this reminds me of moo.dll /sysinfo spam.

That's really impressive for a residential household, do you have any power backup?

Yes.

7/7/2008 4:52:10 PM

damn don't the UPS batteries have a pretty limited lifetime? seems like i could only get about 2 years out of mine. what were you running for power backup? how long could your ups keep the server going w/o electricity?

7/7/2008 4:56:10 PM

It was a Belkin and it would probably only last 5-10 minutes, but we never lost power that long. Not even during hurricane season when everyone else in the neighborhood lost power.

7/7/2008 8:40:36 PM

bump per request

10/24/2008 8:49:41 PM

Not sure I get the point of this. If you've got a box up more than a year, you probably need to be patching something. Should just be part of the job.

10/25/2008 2:08:24 AM

^ true .. but I had to document this before shutting this server down.

I want to see a box with years of uptime with average load of 90+%. not some dormant dns server that doesn't matter. someone post from an edu cluster

10/25/2008 11:06:30 AM

Had to open my mouth about patching...

One of our Solaris 8 eos.ncsu.edu cell AFS servers:
eos% uptime
7:19pm up 589 day(s), 3:52, 1 user, load average: 0.39, 0.45, 0.46

The load averages are higher during the week. And yes, we do plan to do an OS upgrade in the next couple months.

10/25/2008 7:26:13 PM

[snicker]

10/25/2008 9:04:21 PM

^^^ um, load average isn't a percentage, it's the average depth of the scheduling queue, and can get into the double digits while still mostly idle on larger SMP systems (think 24-way Sun system, 10 active compile processes = ~10.0 load average but ~58% idle)

that said, I think we should restrict this to personal systems

power failure last friday took down my notes server :-P

I'll bet you guys I can win the most server downtime award.
