We had--until the middle of december--a linux box running
mysql that served as the solitary authentication DB for our (the
company I work for) website. Approximately 500k users in the
database. About 200k active in a given week.
The *mysql* instance had been running for 246 days. The
machine under it for a little longer. It had run for several months
before that, but it was moved from one building to another.
For space and saftey reasons we moved it to a Sun 420 with a
big disk cluster with Veratas.
It crashed and burned within a month.
Never fuck with a working box.
