Abstract: An information handling system includes a first memory and a baseboard management controller. The first memory stores a first firmware partition and a second firmware partition. The baseboard management controller includes a second memory. The baseboard management controller begins execution of a DM-Verity daemon, and performs periodic patrol reads of the first firmware partition. The baseboard management controller detects one or more block failures in the first firmware partition, and stores information associated with the one or more block failures in a message box of the second memory. In response to the entire first firmware partition being scanned, the baseboard management controller switches a boot partition from the first firmware partition to the second firmware partition, and initiates a reboot of the information handling system.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for relocating an overlay overlapping information in content. The systems and methods may comprise receiving a content item, the content item comprising a video image, and determining a first screen position of an information box (e.g., a score box) in the video image. Determining may be performed with image analysis and/or a machine learning model. The system receives an overlay image (e.g., a channel logo) with a second screen position and determines if the second screen position (e.g., for the logo) overlaps the first screen position (e.g., for the score). In response to determining the second screen position (e.g., of the logo) overlaps the first screen position (e.g., the score), the system modifies the second screen position (e.g., for the logo). Then the system generates for display the overlay image on the video in the modified screen position. The system may not relocate the overlay if the overlay is a high priority.

Abstract: Systems and methods for capped allocation of storage resources based on connection type are described. A new storage connection request from a host system to a group of data storage devices includes a connection type, such as a remote direct memory access connection or transmission control protocol connection. Based on the connection type, a subset of a pool of allocated storage resources for that connection type is determined. If the new connection request does not exceed the maximum number of connections allocated to the subset, a new storage connection is established. If the new connection request exceeds the maximum number of connections allocated to the subset, the new storage connection request fails.
