Well, usually a real hardware error (uncorrectable memory MCE, or CPU memory MCE, or PCI MCE) will cause an immediate reset (no reset button needed). That error could be a result of the reset button being pressed, and not really a hardware error. I work with enterprise vendors hw and they classi

If it is intel microcode (ucode), then one would need to replace the intel ucode for that specific cpu in the firmware directory that contains it. The last 2-3 years of ucode fixes on older cpus were for the various memory bleed bugs where one user could snoop root's and other users data.And i

If you have too many tabs open on some badly behaved websites firefox will eat all of your ram. weather.com is a good one, leave it setting for a few days open and that tab will use up the ram. It seems ok on my bigger machines (32gb) but is a real issue on the machine with 10gb. My 10gb ram mac

You can go into the firefox about:config and reduce the number of threads to less. Too many threads seem to make the ram creep worse. ps axuww | sort -k 6n I have earlyoom taking care of killing as needed. in /etc/default/earlyoom I have this set: EARLYOOM_ARGS="-s 90,90 -r 300 -m 2 --prefer '^

logrotate as far I as I know runs as root, so selinux should not matter. So, full filesystem or read-only filesystem would seem to be the most likely. Corrupted filesystem/directory and/or directory that hit some odd fs limitation (ext4 hashes files in a dir and when too many files hash into a fu

It is termed "fakeraid". It is not hardware raid. The only hardware that exists for it is a couple of entries in the bios and on the disk saying the disk are raid. All of the work is done in the driver/OS. And generally on linux (and windows) it has been poorly supported and always needed an add

highpoint had multi-port raid5 fakeraid cards in the 2006 timeframe and was very careful about not disclosing it was 99.9% software and required an extra driver. There were others that had these cards also, they were troublesome and even intel's has issues at times. On Thu, Mar 6, 2025 at 9:04 AM

Fakeraid is the original name for this when manufacturers came up with it. Originally everyone were directly competing with the hardware raid, and the manufacturers of these raid cards did not go out of their way to tell anyone it was 99.9% software. There were fakeraid raid5/raid6 controllers t

It is the fakeraid driver that runs on top of standard md/dm devices. RST is Intels fakeraid setup. I am not sure if it will automatically come up (if installed on a machine without a fakeraid bios and/or not defined in the fakeraid bios). There is likely a manual way to force configured it to co
