jowi Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Was wondering what uptimes we have... i'm from a Windows background myself so i'm not used to uptimes of more then a few hours but my unRAID server is now : 12 days, 3 hours, 31 minutes Basically, 12 days ago i swapped my X7SPA-HF board for a X9SCM with i3, booted it once, re-installed my plugins, and that was it Quote Link to comment
StevenD Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Ive gone 7 or 8 months without a reboot before. Quote Link to comment
PeterB Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 My uptime? Hmmm, a couple of days - the longest period between power cuts here in Philippines! Sometimes we only get five minutes of power between cuts! Quote Link to comment
SørenBM Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Uptime (from /usr/bin/uptime) 15:11:25 up 355 days, 22:59 Waiting for the "magic" year of uptime Quote Link to comment

So, my uptimes are never that long. That being said, there is nothing from preventing my unRAID or OpenFiler boxes from running indefinitely. I even have them both redundantly powered.

sam i am Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Finally updated from 4.7 to 5rc5 today/yesterday. Uptime was around 16 months. So far, very pleased with 5 Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I normally average around 30 days before I tinker with it. My last Linux server running Slackware I was just a few days shy of 4years, but sadly I bought a house so I had to power it down to move it. My wife said we could of packed it over to the house on UPS, but I was a bit worried about jarring the spinning Hard Drives. LOL Quote Link to comment
nia Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm currently 118 days since we had a power outage longer than my UPS could handle. I have been in the 200+ range Its my first non- win machine, and its amazing how its just works. Essentially it runs until You tell it not to Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

LOL Definitely would defeat the purpose if as soon as you got settled you had to take it offline to replace disks! I usually go around 30 before tinkering. Once I get the test server running I should have longer uptimes, since I won't be rebooting my production server to test things anymore! Quote Link to comment
marcusone Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Best I've had is over 200. Any shutdowns are due to longer than 10min power outages. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment

Essentially it runs until You tell it not to Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Welcome to the world of Unix based operating systems. My MacBook Pro that I use as a desktop PC had an uptime of 2 and a half years before I recently upgraded to mountain lion so I had to reboot. As for my unraid server, I'm at almost 25 days right now. Also a big tinkerer but there haven't been any new 5.0 RCs or major plugin updates that require a reboot. This is probably the longest uptime it's had in over a year. Quote Link to comment
WeeboTech Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I've had servers running for over 2 years. It all depends on maintenance and/or power. On our Solaris systems we discovered after 2.5 years the OS would hit a bug and crash. I had to write a nagios plugin to monitor uptime just in case. My vmware instance of windows XP does not usually last more then a month or so. Quote Link to comment

Influencer Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 My windows pc had an uptime of 1 year 3 months and 17 days before it went down. Power supply failed I know the exact uptime because I still had the invoice from the day I got the parts to build it. I put it together, set everything up and never turner it off. Auto updates were turned off so no required reboots from that. Quote Link to comment
Alex.vision Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 which app is that ? That app is iStat for iPhone Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 which app is that ? That would be iStat for IOS. Nifty little app. Quote Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 My main servers, Andromeda and Eurekamaru, stay up as long as possible. We have had bad weather in my neck of the woods over the last month and a half so uptime right now is about 10 day on each one. My test server gets restarted and messed with about every 2 weeks.
