I am setting
ulimit -c unlimited.
And in c++ program we are doing
struct rlimit corelimit;
if (getrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE, &corelimit) != 0) {
return -1;
}
corelimit.rlim_cur = RLIM_INFINITY;
corelimit.rlim_max = RLIM_INFINITY;
if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE, &corelimit) != 0) {
return -1;
}
but whenever program is getting crashed the core dump generated by it is getting truncated.
BFD: Warning: /mnt/coredump/core.6685.1325912972 is truncated: expected core file size >= 1136525312, found: 638976.
What can be the issue ?
We are using Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS

This is my /etc/security/limits.conf
# /etc/security/limits.conf
#
#Each line describes a limit for a user in the form:
#
#<domain> <type> <item> <value>
#
#Where:
#<domain> can be:
# - an user name
# - a group name, with @group syntax
# - the wildcard *, for default entry
# - the wildcard %, can be also used with %group syntax,
# for maxlogin limit
# - NOTE: group and wildcard limits are not applied to root.
# To apply a limit to the root user, <domain> must be
# the literal username root.
#
#<type> can have the two values:
# - "soft" for enforcing the soft limits
# - "hard" for enforcing hard limits
#
#<item> can be one of the following:
# - core - limits the core file size (KB)
# - data - max data size (KB)
# - fsize - maximum filesize (KB)
# - memlock - max locked-in-memory address space (KB)
# - nofile - max number of open files
# - rss - max resident set size (KB)
# - stack - max stack size (KB)
# - cpu - max CPU time (MIN)
# - nproc - max number of processes
# - as - address space limit (KB)
# - maxlogins - max number of logins for this user
# - maxsyslogins - max number of logins on the system
# - priority - the priority to run user process with
# - locks - max number of file locks the user can hold
# - sigpending - max number of pending signals
# - msgqueue - max memory used by POSIX message queues (bytes)
# - nice - max nice priority allowed to raise to values: [-20, 19]
# - rtprio - max realtime priority
# - chroot - change root to directory (Debian-specific)
#
#<domain> <type> <item> <value>
#
#* soft core 0
#root hard core 100000
#* hard rss 10000
#@student hard nproc 20
#@faculty soft nproc 20
#@faculty hard nproc 50
#ftp hard nproc 0
# ftp - chroot /ftp
#@student - maxlogins 4
#for all users
* hard nofile 16384
* soft nofile 9000

I am using gcc optimization flag

I am setting stack thread size to .5 mb

There are several reasons for a core file to be truncated, such as the following: Disk/filesystem I/O issues. RAM issues. OS restriction on the core file size.
By default, all core dumps are stored in /var/lib/systemd/coredump (due to Storage=external ) and they are compressed with zstd (due to Compress=yes ). Additionally, various size limits for the storage can be configured. Note: The default value for kernel. core_pattern is set in /usr/lib/sysctl.
Enter the coredumps command at the pimvasrv:ispim prompt. Enter the help command at the pimvasrv:coredumps prompt for a list of available commands. The following result is displayed: Current mode commands: delete_coredump Delete coredump files.
I remember there is a hard limit which can be set by the administrator, and a soft limit which is set by the user. If the soft limit is stronger than the hard limit, the hard limit value is taken. I'm not sure this is valid for any shell though, I only know it from bash.
I had the same problem with core files getting truncated.
Further investigation showed that ulimit -f
(aka file size
, RLIMIT_FSIZE
) also affects core files, so check that limit is also unlimited / suitably high. [I saw this on Linux kernel 3.2.0 / debian wheezy.]
