Hi, I'm running a debian server with a 2.6.13.1 kernel and the 0.3.8 ivtv driver with 2 PVR-350's, doing very many recordings each day (I have some schedules that say: "record each show, but keep only the last" for a news program that gets repeated quite often during the day. But hey, it lets me watch the latest news whatever time I come home ;-).
The server is also running software RAID on 4 160GB disks, samba, apache2, dbmail with a >2GB mail database, asterisk with mISDN, netbackup to backup my laptop and other PC's to disk, a couple of php-based apps (such as an online photo album), heyu2 for some X10 stuff and some vague app that lets me use my Sony Mobile as a bluetooth remote for Myth (seriously cool). Currently I have an uptime of: 18:06:53 up 4 days, 5:44, 2 users, load average: 0.60, 0.50, 0.23 But this is mostly because I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.11 to 2.6.13 last sunday and of course this required a reboot. For me the whole setup has been rock-solid for quite some time now with uptimes of >2 weeks, usually only interrupted for a driver upgrade or so... I have found that upgrading memory from 512MB to 1GB has seriously improved responsiveness, I now rarely have more then 64MB swapspace. The whole thing is so stable, I do not use the tuner in my TV anymore (It doesn't even have a coax cable connected to it). However, if I enable HyperThreading in the BIOS (it's an Asus P4P800 with a P4 3.0GHz), then it becomes a different story: playing a recording hiccups (=it randomly pauses, can only be continued by doing a REW+FF), and the box hangs after some time... I've read more bad things about HT support under Linux on the P4P800, but only after I bought it :-((.
