[asterisk-users] How to generate core dump?

[Danny Nicholas]

You would think this, but I've seen asterisk create 100 or more dumps in an
hour of 10+Mb.  Depending on Inode size, etc., this situation could push a
system into a "hurting" capacity rather quickly.  Also, many shops use older
technology and compound this by RAID striping, which can reduce your
effective capacity by up to 70%.  Just an observation.

In the day and age where 500GB hard drives are $75 at Micro Center, hard 
drive space shouldn't be a concern to many unless you've recycled a 
system older than four years old. I was out yesterday and the cheapest 
and smallest drive they carried was a WD 160GB for $40, and until the 
last year the smallest drive you could get was 80GB, and the year before 
that 60GB.

It'd take weeks of core dumps before a blip would show up in df unless 
it's constantly core dumping, which from what he said I suspect is not 
the case.
