I have FirebirdSS-1.0.0.796 running on RedHat Linux 7.1.
Every week or so I end up with a huge /tmp/core file, presumably some sort of core memory dump. Since /tmp seems to be a creation of FB, and FB is the only thing users are logging into on this particular Linux box, I can only conclude that this is being started by FB.
It seems to be initiated in conjunction with a user logging in.
I have managed to reduce the size of the /tmp/core file by changing an entry in /etc/profile: ulimit -S -c 10000, so at least it no longer takes the database server down due to lack of drive space.
I would, however, prefer a solution that nips the problem in the bud.
Ideas, anyone?
Thank you,
George Helmke
