Comment on Dealing with faulty RAM modules in 2026
kumi@feddit.online 3 days agoThere is one part in the post mentioning how to “pad holes” in fail8ng areas. Maybe I should edit the post with some details around aligning reserved address space.
Otherwise, corruption of the RAM itself doea not usually spread like mold in bread or wear out and fail in similar ways to flash memory.

By spreading I meant thar if there is an underlying manufacturing defect it would be really difficult to predict where and when it would happen on memory. And if there is already a fault detected more might come later.
But I’m glad you documented how to do these types of workaround. It might be helpful with memory prices skyrocketing…
