I’ve got a box that runs a bunch of smoke pings 24×7 and I have to admit I look at it about once a week. However guilt got the better of me and I decided it was about time to upgrade Ubuntu from a recently up to date v6.06 LTS to v8.04 LTS and I took the JFDI method “sudo update-manager -d” after copying off the smokeping config off box. Well what a surprise this was this morning:
The Standard deviation improvements are right after the upgrade were a pleasant surprise, especially considering this isn’t a local box I’m pinging too.
Got any idea why ? Leave a comment…

I would say that it’s the result of a kernel update. Ubuntu 6.06 used kernel 2.6.15, 8.04 uses 2.6.24. There were many improvements between those (some things were entirely rewritten).
