I'd like to ensure core files go to a local partition rather than the
default location ($HOME), which is network-mounted in my case.

Googling a bit, I found this:

         https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/61536

In light of that, a few questions...

Does this still apply to abrt in Fedora 19?

That page suggests that when abrt is in use, core files would be
generated in the location set by abrt, which defaults
to /var/spool/abrt.  However, I have abrtd running and I'm definitely
getting core files in $HOME.  Does abrt just make a copy to put
in /var/spool/abrt?

Might my problem be resolved as simply as telling abrt not to make a
copy?  I'd be fine with just having the core files in /var/spool/abrt.
Otherwise, I imagine I'd like them somewhere named /var/users/$USER/dump
(or similar).  How do I do that and continue to play nicely with abrt?


Hi,
if you have ABRT running on your system you have 2 options:

1. set ulimit -c to 0
- this will prevent the system from creating corefiles, but won't influence ABRT

2. edit /etc/abrt/plugins/CCpp.conf and change MakeCompatCore = yes to no
- this will tell abrt to ignore whatever is set as corelimit and never create the "compat core" which is usually in the $CWD of the crashing program.

Cheers,
Jirka
