Package: rasdaemon Version: 0.6.8-1.1 rasdaemon upstream offers the ability to offline memory when failures are detected (see <https://github.com/mchehab/rasdaemon/commit/9ae6b70eff>).
Debian's rasdaemon includes the configuration files to do that at /etc/default/rasdaemon, with lines like: PAGE_CE_REFRESH_CYCLE="24h" PAGE_CE_THRESHOLD="50" PAGE_CE_ACTION="soft" This makes it look like the feature is enabled. However, those settings in /etc/default/rasdaemon are never actually used, and rasdaemon will never try to offline failing memory, because the Debian package is not compiled with the necessary "--enable-memory-ce-pfa" flag. Compiling rasdaemon with "--enable-memory-ce-pfa" would fix this. I tested compiling with that extra flag, and if you do so, these new lines are emitted in the logs when it is started, indicating the code is working: rasdaemon: Page offline choice on Corrected Errors is soft rasdaemon: Threshold of memory Corrected Errors is 50 / 24h I'd like to suggest that this option be enabled. If people don't want to use this feature, they can edit /etc/default/rasdaemon as documented to change it to PAGE_CE_ACTION="off". If it is decided not to enable this feature, then /etc/default/rasdaemon should be modified to remove these options so it doesn't look like it is enabled. -- Robert L Mathews
