+ Rasdaemon is a RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability) logging tool.
+It currently records memory errors, using the EDAC tracing events.
+EDAC is drivers in the Linux kernel that handle detection of ECC errors
+from memory controllers for most chipsets on i386 and x86_64 architectures.
+EDAC drivers for other architectures like arm also exists.
+This userspace component consists of an init script which makes sure
+EDAC drivers and DIMM labels are loaded at system startup, as well as
+an utility for reporting current error counts from the EDAC sysfs files.
