Recently I discovered the motherboard that had been running omen.com
had an undetected bad memory chip. This is a real confidence builder.
Currently, running a definitive memory test requires hours of down time.
The user mode memory tester has serious limitations.
I propose kernel support for a user mode program similar to memtest86
to allow such a program to request a hardware block of memory and
relocate whatever was in that block to another memory area. This way
all of the memory can be checked in the background of a running system.
