"don't realistically happen" is different when you're talking about "doesn't happen within the warranty period of my laptop's SSD" and "doesn't happen on my fleet of 10k servers before they're taken out of service". There's also a big difference in speeds between an NVMe drive (7GB/s) and a memory device (20-50GB/s). The UBER being talked about when I was still at Intel was similar to / slightly better than DRAM, but that's still several failures per year across an entire data centre that's using pmem flat-out. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
