Question

我的操作系统是Arch Linux。当有coredump时，我尝试使用gdb来调试它：

$ coredumpctl gdb 1621
......
       Storage: /var/lib/systemd/coredump/core.runTests.1014.b43166f4bba84bcba55e65ae9460beff.1621.1491901119000000000000.lz4
       Message: Process 1621 (runTests) of user 1014 dumped core.

                Stack trace of thread 1621:
                #0  0x00007ff1c0fcfa10 n/a (n/a)

GNU gdb (GDB) 7.12.1
......
Reading symbols from /home/xiaonan/Project/privDB/build/bin/runTests...done.
BFD: Warning: /var/tmp/coredump-28KzRc is truncated: expected core file size >= 2179375104, found: 2147483648.

我查看了/var/tmp/coredump-28KzRc文件：

$ ls -alth /var/tmp/coredump-28KzRc
-rw------- 1 xiaonan xiaonan 2.0G Apr 11 17:00 /var/tmp/coredump-28KzRc

Linux上的coredump文件的限制大小是2G吗？因为我认为我的/var/tmp有足够的磁盘空间可供使用：

$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
dev              32G     0   32G   0% /dev
run              32G  3.1M   32G   1% /run
/dev/sda2       229G   86G  132G  40% /
tmpfs            32G  708M   31G   3% /dev/shm
tmpfs            32G     0   32G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs            32G  957M   31G   3% /tmp
/dev/sda1       511M   33M  479M   7% /boot
/dev/sda3       651G  478G  141G  78% /home

P.S。 “ulimit -a”输出：

$ ulimit -a

更新：/etc/systemd/coredump.conf文件：

$ cat coredump.conf

[Coredump]
#Storage=external
#Compress=yes
#ProcessSizeMax=2G
#ExternalSizeMax=2G
#JournalSizeMax=767M
#MaxUse=
#KeepFree=

Answer 1

@牛米。是对的。
（1）修改/etc/systemd/coredump.conf文件：

[Coredump]
ProcessSizeMax=8G
ExternalSizeMax=8G
JournalSizeMax=8G

（2）重新加载systemd的配置：

# systemctl daemon-reload

请注意，这只会对新生成的核心转储文件生效。

Answer 2

2G是Linux上coredump文件的限制大小吗？

没有。我经常处理大于4GiB的核心转储。

ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited

这会告诉您此shell中的当前限制。它告诉你 nothing 关于runTests运行的环境。该过程可能会通过setrlimit(2)设置自己的限制，或者其父级可能会为其设置限制。

您可以修改runTest以使用getrlimit(2)打印其当前限制，并查看该流程运行时的实际情况。

P.S。仅仅因为core被截断并不意味着它完全没用（尽管经常是这样）。至少，您应该尝试使用GDB where命令。
