Not showing the real error error counts but something contrived is the definition of bogus numbers.

Dude, relax, I'm only trying to point out to you that there are customers who want to see *every* error and thus track how their hardware behaves. And that for those customers it is probably worth considering exposing that info and providing a switch to disable that dumbing of the RAS functionality in the BIOS so that people can decide for themselves. That's all. I'm not questioning your model - I'm just saying that it could be improved for certain customers. Do me a favor and this time *actually* *read* my reply. > I am just trying to enable OS error reporting with ghes_edac. I know, you don't have to state the obvious constantly. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. ECO tip #101: Trim your mails when you reply. --
