No. That's a theoretical impossibility as the detection is done by some kind of hash over the memory content which brings the possibility of hash collisions. For cryptographic hashes collisions are by definition nearly impossible to trigger but obviously memory controllers can't use cryptographic hashes to protect the memory content : the verification would be prohibitive (both in hardware costs and in latencies). Most ECC implementations use hamming codes which correct all single-bit errors and detect all 2-bit errors but can have false negatives for 3+ bit errors. There's even speculation that modern hardware makes this more likely because individual chips now use buses that aren't 1-bit anymore and defective chips don't store only 1-bit in a byte returned by a read anymore but several. > AFAIK under Linux this results in > immediate halt of system, so it would not be able to report bad checksum > data during deep-scrub. It can, it's just less likely. Lionel _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
