Why is your uptime so low?
PrevNode LinkReading from my Facebook post:
Today I'd like to share a story told by a friend. At his workplace, they had a computer running Gentoo Linux which wasn't rebooted for a while and accumulated a large uptime. Then one day they had to reboot it for some reason. This friend gave me one guess to guess what happened then. I guessed that "it didn't work". I was right.
While mainframe computers tend to accumulate years of uptime, I suspect their software and hardware made some design compromises to accommodate for that.
My uptime record was 34 days:
I try to reboot every kernel update.
I do enjoy “Uptime Funk - A SUSE Music Parody” though.
