Bingo! 

I remember it was a "long" time ago that I changed the partition. But 
apparently it is not long enough to beat my last reboot:

 $ uptime
  22:12:19 up 72 days, 23:22, 18 users,  load average: 0.47, 0.35, 0.31

The box has been running steady for so long that I've forgot which one 
came first. 

Thanks for the answer. AOK now.
