I recently transitioned from Windows Server 2012 to Freenas 11.3 U3.2 (latest at time of writing) to host ~20 TB of data, a media server VM (emby), and a UrBackup jail. The final installed followed several months of testing including CPU stress and memory testing and HDD burnin. Testing showed that one 8 GB memory stick purchased on ebay as a set of 8 was faulty. This showed by memtest86+ freezing and ECC memory errors being manifested in the BIOS and IPMI logs. I replaced the bad stick and all testing completed successfully.
I recently discovered a lone error in the console (/var/log/messages):
I checked the IPMI log and NO ECC errors are registered there. There are no other such errors in /var/log/messages dating back to 6/21/20. I have seen other posts on this error. While some had clearly significant issues, there were some with a similar on time problem. These threads simply stopped without resolution. Since this seems to be a fluke, I am inclined to ignore the error and keep monitoring. Am I making a mistake with this approach?
