We recently had a FreeBSD4.7 system almost make it to 1,000 days uptime. It may have actually done it but it also appears to have rebooted itself just as it reached 1,000 days.
Is anybody aware of any kind of counter overflow or anything along those lines that might have caused the reboot? Obviously a system that has been up for that long without a break isn't too sick, but I can't imagine what happened. There are no signs of anything being wrong. After it rebooted itself, it just kept on ticking like it has for the last 2-and-a-quarter years. I looked in /var/log/messages and found no tracks. The last message was a routine message about the dhcp lease it had and then a few minutes later, the next message was the copyright notice on the kernel as the reboot started. That FreeBSD is just wonderful, though. I know of some other popular OS's that can't even dream of that much uptime. Thanks for any useful information.
