    Truncating due to too many errors

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using memtest86 v11.5 free version on a usb drive for memory diagnostics and I have a problem with logging.
    In particular, I noticed there's a limit of roughly 500 errors, after which the log file gets truncated with a "Truncating due to too many errors" error, for example:
    ...
    2025-12-15 22:01:47 - [MEM ERROR] Truncating due to too many errors (Total errs: 503)
    ...
    I wish to have an option to remove this auto truncation in order to display all errors.
    Thanks

    In the final test report (not the debug file) you can set the number of errors to display via the config file.
    REPORTNUMERRS Number of the most recent errors to display in the report file. This number must be no more than 5000.

    But it should be noted that one RAM error is a pretty bad outcome. Even a couple of errors is enough reason to replace the RAM stick.

    So it really doesn't matter if you have 100, 200 or 5000 errors. They are all equally abysmal outcomes.
