In order to support ZFS, we upgraded a backups server with a new, ECC motherboard. We're running CentOS 6 with ZFS on Linux, recently patched. Now, I want to enable EDAC so we can check for memory errors (and maybe PCI errors as well) but so far, repeatedly pounding on the Google hasn't yielded exactly what I need to do to enable EDAC. One howto was covering PCI and edac, but "modprobe edac_mc" didn't work. Here's some information below, How do I get edac up and running? Many howtos cover how to use edac-ctl and edac-util, but none seem to cover how to determine what module to load into the kernel. [root@hume ~]# modprobe edac_mc FATAL: Module edac_mc not found.

This userspace component consists of an init script which makes sure EDAC drivers and DIMM labels are loaded at system startup, as well as a library and utility for reporting current error counts from the EDAC sysfs files. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
