Hello!

've noticed an interesting issue: 'systemd-coredumpctl list' info doesn't match to number of files in /var/lib/systemd/coredump

Personally, I've huge list of coredumps when 'coredumpctl list' command is used, but number of files in /var/lib/systemd/coredump is much less, than it is displayed in 'coredumpctl list' command output. And I didn't touch any of .xz-file in /var/lib/systemd/coredump.

So, I guess, somewhere there is a service, which cleans /var/lib/systemd/coredump folder automatically due to some period.

Indeed, see: $ grep coredump /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf d /var/lib/systemd/coredump 0755 root root 3d

Ok, if so, why doesn't it also clean 'coredumpctl list' command output?

Because even if the coredump files are cleaned up, it' still important (especially for sysadmins) to record that an application had crashed in the past. I'm closing this as INVALID since the described behavior is expected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
