Bug ID: 502848
Summary: DrKonqi fills /tmp with core dumps until (almost?) no
space is left
Classification: Applications
Product: drkonqi
Version: 6.3.3
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: m_loui...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When an application crashes DrKonqi saves a core dump in /tmp. These folders
can be huge, hundreds of MB.
When an application crashes repeatedly, a core dump is created each time. This
ends up filling the filesystem.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Introduce a crash in a large Kde application
2. Trigger the crash as many times as you can
3. Watch your /tmp folder
OBSERVED RESULT
Disk usage appears not to be limited and core dumps fill up the disk. Core
dumps do not disappear.
Here is an example:
93M /tmp/drkonqi-core.PAKDGj
94M /tmp/drkonqi-core.incVUD
96M /tmp/drkonqi-core.iKJbVo
119M /tmp/drkonqi-core.NsJeOj
119M /tmp/drkonqi-core.OyvlIk
131M /tmp/drkonqi-core.DwuLVw
221M [unrelated]
269M /tmp/drkonqi-core.RjRgOM
465M /tmp/drkonqi-core.GhumdV
465M /tmp/drkonqi-core.mdpHXX
530M /tmp/drkonqi-core.nDJTlw
590M /tmp/drkonqi-core.SoTGZo
614M /tmp/drkonqi-core.PYMKgt
642M /tmp/drkonqi-core.vSwDDN
649M /tmp/drkonqi-core.nwVJBD
662M /tmp/drkonqi-core.LbUDSY
682M /tmp/drkonqi-core.nxRHKc
696M /tmp/drkonqi-core.FKsxOV
697M /tmp/drkonqi-core.lPYiuM
701M /tmp/drkonqi-core.LCKkOI
723M /tmp/drkonqi-core.KQYVxz
11G /tmp
11G total
Some of these are more than a week old.
EXPECTED RESULT
Disk usage is limited to a reasonable value. Core dumps are removed
automatically after some time.
