What's your age (OS)?

[ivanovnegro]

How old is your Debian sid install, or whatever you run. Though preferably a rolling release. Let's see how long you can run one release without breaking it.

Right now my oldest installed system is still a Debian sid install with ext3, sysvinit and no pulse.

That makes 4 years and two freezes iirc.

You can of course use other methods to determine the approximate date of your installation.

Like sawing the computer in half and count the lines as if it was a tree :D

Sorry can't join here due to so many re-installs lately (distro-hopping again), I need to seek help. Oldest install is 2,5 days atm.

tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

Hmmm I'd better look at fixing that...

You are an addict I understand. Just make a new thread for your kind. :D

Wux: You have to check if you have your file system on /sda1 or in another place.
