Hello, I want to clarify the situation around "no coredumps in CWD".
If configured ABRT can create a core dump file in the current working directory (more precisely, ABRT can write a core dump to a file according to the old value of /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern) if the process' RLIMIT_CORE (ulimit -c) is not 0 (RLIMIT_CORE is 0 by default). Starting with systemd-229 (Fedora 24, Rawhide), systemd sets its RLIMIT_CORE to 'unlimited' and all processes inherits it [1]. Hence ABRT started laying coredump files all around file system. I haven't find a reliable way how to restore the old RLIMIT_CORE [2][3], so I turned the old way coredumps off in ABRT. If you want to get coredump files in CWD, you should: 1. set MakeCompatCore=yes in /etc/abrt/plugins/CCpp.conf 2. set DefaultLimitCORE=0 in a file in /etc/systemd/system.conf 3. reboot 4. and as usual - $ ulimit -c unlimited Regards, Jakub ABRT 1: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/2c45295e47642812ea417efba7f2f3339c6e2912/NEWS 2: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1309172 3: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2643 -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
