A disk SATA glitch was miscounted as new MCEs and paged as 'QPI returned'. Now counts bank=0x (MCE) and I/O-error (disk) rows independently, each with its own threshold alert. Old 2-field state auto-re-baselines. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# services/hardware-health.nix — RAS error attribution + watchdog auto-recovery
|
|
#
|
|
# Context: Jun 2026 the dual Xeon E5-2697 v3 began throwing a storm of
|
|
# *corrected* Machine Check Exceptions on both sockets (Bank 5 / Bank 20),
|
|
# ~18k events in 36h, eventually hanging the box. Since this host is the
|
|
# router, a hang takes the whole LAN offline until a manual power-cycle.
|
|
#
|
|
# This module:
|
|
# - rasdaemon: decodes every MCE to a specific DIMM/channel/socket and
|
|
# persists a per-component error DB, so a failing part can be named
|
|
# (needed for the seller's warranty claim). Query with `ras-mc-ctl
|
|
# --error-count` and `ras-mc-ctl --summary`.
|
|
# - hardware watchdog: if userspace hangs again, systemd stops petting
|
|
# /dev/watchdog0 and the chipset watchdog reboots the box (~30s),
|
|
# restoring the LAN without physical access.
|
|
# - mce-monitor: after the Jul 2026 CPU repaste/reseat, watch for the QPI
|
|
# fault returning. Baselines at the current rasdaemon count (so only NEW
|
|
# errors count) and pushes an ntfy alert on geometric thresholds — the
|
|
# 1st, 10th, 100th, 1000th... new error — so the first one pings
|
|
# immediately and a storm spaces out instead of thousands of pushes.
|
|
# Reuses the /var/secrets/ntfy-url topic (see services/service-health.nix).

|
# - MCE / QPI (rows carry "bank=0x") -> the CPU interconnect fault
|
|
# - disk I/O (rows carry "error='I/O error'") -> failing drive OR SATA link
|
|
# rasdaemon lumps both in `--errors`; counting them together used to make a
|
|
# disk glitch masquerade as "QPI returned", so we grep each class separately.
