This would mean:
I've got two machines, both would have bad RAM, which comes up with drbd
only. All other applications are running fine. Hmmm. Ok, not impossible
but very hard to believe.

Could it be to get rid of the potential errors, if the RAM-timings in the
bios are changed to a less critical value (if this is possible at all)?

I recall, that there are memory chips (with an additional chip), which can
detect flipping bits. Don't know, if the machines memory has this feature.
I will have a look!


Kind regards,
Andreas Hartmann
