ulimit -c unlimited

Hi,

I want to set the coredump to unlimited, but it seems it does not work.

[root@schassen]> ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 1048576
stack(kbytes) 131072
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 4194303
nofiles(descriptors) 2048
[root@schassen]> ulimit -c unlimited
[root@schassen]>
[root@schassen]> ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 1048576
stack(kbytes) 131072
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 4194303
nofiles(descriptors) 2048

Someone who can help me here?

Thanks

Andreas

Remember - those are blocks, not bytes. Are your core files being truncated now?
Try a larger number if really need to change it:

ulimit -c 5190000
ksh: ulimit: exceeds allowable limit
ulimit-c 4194404

As you can see, you will get the above errors if you exceed system-imposed limits.
