However, consumer-grade hardware is prone to RAM bit flips, at a higher rate than what most people probably think. The most recent research I knew is discussed on Wikipedia [2], which shows the error rate was on the magnitude of 1 bit error per gigabyte of RAM per 1.8 hours.
did you actually read that google paper? as far as i'm concerned, its conclusion is "bad ram is bad, duh". a subsequent study by facebook (https://www.dpss.inesc-id.pt/~romanop/files/secMemErr.pdf) drives the point home even harder. it's not a non-issue, but it's by far not as dramatic as the number above suggests, and running a ram test on a regular basis should reveal most problems before they cause much damage. _______________________________________________ isync-devel mailing list isync-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/isync-devel
