|
+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.
