[389-users] Segfault & Core Dumps

[Dael Maselli]

Hi,

I'm experiencing a lot of segmentation fault on my installations, I have 
the latest release on EPEL on SL 5.4 (389-Directory/1.2.5 B2010.012.2034).

I'm trying to get core dumps but without success. Is there a specific 
configuration that prevents/allows 389-ds to core dump?

The default on linux, you know, is to have core dump soft limit to 0, so 
I changed it for 389 in /etc/sysconfig/dirsrv, adding the line:
  ulimit -c unlimited

and now I get:

# more /proc/`pidof ns-slapd`/limits | grep core
Max core file size        unlimited            unlimited            bytes

Kernel parameters are at default:

# sysctl -a | grep kernel.core
kernel.core_pattern = core
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1

So, I expected a core dump in /proc/`pidof ns-slapd`/cwd/, right?

But when it segfaults no file is created in cwd.

Can you help me, please?

Thank you.

Best regards,
