The purpose of that machine was to be an NFS file server and lpd printer server for a printer connected to its parallell port. I no longer mount its NFS exported drive, but I still use it as my printer server. It has been running 24/7 for almost 20 years now and the same IDE drive is still running fine. I don't have any UPS so the uptime isn't so impressive, it reboots almost every year during the summers when there are thunderstorms. Even if this is only yet another sample of 1 anectdote I still would say that most HDs running 24/7 get retired because of obsolete capacity rather than HDD failures. regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.
