I wonder if I will ever be able to beat this record…

Today is the day that I finally had to reboot my Linux router. It was able to stay running for 390 days and 57 minutes. I was able to keep it running through multiple hour long power outages, migrating ISPs, and countless other daily issues. Alas, a problem with the hard drive caused the system to start haning any time it needed to access the drive, causing the internet to become practically unuseable. It took a reboot, disk check, and some error correction to get it working again. It worked fine after that for 15 minutes or so, but now I’m back to the same problem. A temporary solution might be cutting the bittorrent sharing of the new ubuntu release. There might be too many open connections for the router to handle in ram, or it might be trying to cache something. I’ll update when I’ve figured it out.

Today marks the first time I have had a computer reach 100 days of uptime. This same system had once made it to 94 days of uptime, but I had to physically move the system to it’s current location. The above screenshot was taken a few minutes ago from my IPCOP firewall/router and demonstrates just how reliable linux can be. My webserver that is hosting all of my websites (and physically located imediately bellow my router) is on it’s 88th day of uptime. I’ll post again when my web server reaches it’s first 100 days of uptime as well. I  wonder how much power it has consumed in those 100 days…
