------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to continue
|
||||||
|
operation. For many environments such as scientific computing it is preferable
|
||||||
|
that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than an uncorrected
|
||||||
|
parity/ECC error get propogated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons such as
|
||||||
|
power management so the default is off. That sysctl works like the existing
|
||||||
|
panic controls already in that directory.
