How to online memory -------------------- When the memory is hot-added, the kernel decides whether or not to "online" it according to the policy which can be read from "auto_online_blocks" file:: % cat /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks The default depends on the CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE kernel config option. If it is disabled the default is "offline" which means the newly added memory is not in a ready-to-use state and you have to "online" the newly added memory blocks manually. Automatic onlining can be requested by writing "online" to "auto_online_blocks" file:: % echo online > /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks This sets a global policy and impacts all memory blocks that will subsequently be hotplugged. If this is enabled by default then the following should achieve the same goal as disabling the config option: echo offline > /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2028158 Title: [SRU] Duplicate Device_dax ids Created and hence Probing is Failing.
