If I don't limit the size of coredumps, it can dump 8gigs or even more
ISTR actually having to enable core dumps, are you sure they are not disabled by default? There is also something about systemd looking after core dumps now:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-coredump.html
I have some notes somewhere about how it is done. The thing is, some releases enable them, then another disables them. My script have seen both sides. To avoid surprises, I disable it for this process. This particular process has a failure mode which is consume all the ram and more. A coredump of that takes atrocious CPU time, because of the default compression mode chosen, when I saw the issue. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
