Stefano Marinelli<p>Client asked me to check their monitoring server - which also generates graphs, alerts, etc. - that I had lost track of for years. It also performs some backups of non-critical data, just for extra redundancy. They provided me with their VPN details, and I just connected:</p><p>18:25:14 up 2753 days, 4:39, 1 user, load average: 4.07, 4.11, 4.12</p><p>That is: system boot 2017-04-14 14:45</p><p>Putting security aside, I’d say the stability is definitely proven. The disks are fine, and there are no errors in the logs. Physical server running on Debian Linux.</p><p>I try to think back to the restart date of that machine, and I truly realize how much time has passed.</p><p>PS: the file system is BTRFS</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Uptime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Uptime</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Stability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stability</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdmin</span></a></p>
