I suppose "read" should say "discarded by userspace", but I always assumed userspace would read the file and then discard the coredump by writing (anything iirc) to the file. IOW - yes, this is expected, you should write to the data file which makes it (and the folder) disappear and allows creating a new one. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
