Two actual queries per year. The system counts in odd units when the numbers are too big/small.

Also, I didn’t work that out myself, I took both numbers from a system thinking it was created in 1901. Don’t trust it.

I really don’t get it. .08 Microqueries per second, that would be A LOT more than 2 per year. Right?

P.S. At that rate, you would get 4.8 Microqueries per minute.

Yes.
I don’t have much choice on the kernel – one of my two options (2.4) now refuses to boot unless I go in via the serial console, in which case I can get it to a single-user root prompt, ‘for maintence.’

The new kernel (2.6) is doing this. I suspect /dev is messed up. Rebooting is screwy too, although that seems fine now.

As it stands, load is higher than it should be, but at least it works…

Maybe you have a kernel problem. Are you sure you don’t have some random, baldy-written module installed?
Maybe your disk got a bit corrupted. You are using journaling, right?
