In any case, the quick answer is that you should be able to find your core file in /var/cache/abrt, where abrt stores it after being invoked. Similarly, other systems using Apport may squirrel away cores in /var/crash, and so on.
How do I change the default location of the core files?
By default, core files are created in the working directory of the faulting application. To override this and specify a location for the files, enter the following command (as root) replacing “/tmp” with the desired target directory:.
Where can I find the core_pattern in Linux?
, and txt. Core_pattern is used to specify a core dumpfile pattern name. If the first character of the pattern is a ‘|’, the kernel will treat the rest of the pattern as a command to run. The core dump will be written to the standard input of that program instead of to a file.
Where does a linux core dump go?
In Linux, core dumps can be obtained by default when a process goes off unattended. A Core dump file is named “core,” and it resides in one of the working directory’s directories: /var/lib/systemd/coredump.
The core dump is written in the current directory of the process at the time of the crash. Of course core dumps need to be enabled, by default those are usually disabled.
To set the location of core dumps in Busybox you can set core file path using the proc file system. For example, if you want core dumps in /tmp/crash/corefiles: you have to set the core file size, below command sets the core file size to unlimited.
How do I prevent core files from being dumped?
To disallow users of the system to be able to dump core files, configure the /etc/security/limits. Conf file to allow only certain users or groups to create core files. For example, if all the members of the “devel” group are to be allowed to dump core files:.
Also, how to disable core dumps in Linux?
So if you don’t need the core dumps for troubleshooting purposes, disabling them is a safe option. To disable core dumps we need to set a ulimit value. This is done via the /etc/security/limits. Conf file and defines some shell specific restrictions. Good to know is that there are soft and hard limits.
