Honestly, this is one of the things I like about Linux. If I have memory errors, Windows will just keep running, occasionally something will crash, you restart it, never suspecting just how corrupt things are getting under the hood. On Linux, I generally get kernel panics pretty quickly, so I run memtest86 and replace the RAM.
If my hardware is flaky, I consider it my job to replace it, not the job of all my software to magically compensate for it. If I lose data, oh well, I have backups. If I didn't, I was asking for trouble anyway. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
