You have 128Mb of memory ;-) It maps your memory to that virtual file. It doen't take any space on your disk. Regards At 11:51 AM 11/13/99 -0600, David J. Kanter wrote: I'm trying to free up some disk space so hunted for core dumps. All I could find (find / -name "core" -x

Core dumps & /proc/kcore

I'm trying to free up some disk space so hunted for core dumps. All I could find (find / -name "core" -xdev) was /proc/kcore, which is a whopping 131Mb. Is this a monolithic core dump that can be deleted? -- David J. Kanter [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Humans have an innate t

Re: kcore

Close (probably even closer than it 'sounded' to me)... /dev is a real directory and is 'normal' in every way. However, the files in /dev are usually rather special in the sense that I think you are referring. /proc OTOH is not really a 'real' directory. It exists in the kernel, gets mounted and

Re: kcore

kcore == kernel core memory. It should be the amount of mem you have or close. It is not a real file, nothing in /proc is. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
