Description slusarz 2013-03-19 00:30:28 UTC

It looks that this attempt to not truncate the size of coredumps:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=41be2ca14d34b67776240bc67facf341b156b974

doesn't do much (at least for coredumps over 64MB), since the value of ENTRY_SIZE_MAX is hard coded to 64MB in src/journal/journald-native.c.

I'm just seeing this, for example (Arch Linux using systemd-198):

[330482.763605] php-fpm[12633]: segfault at 7f2a46cc4010 ip 000000000076ce81 sp 00007fffbf866670 error 4 in php-fpm[400000+911000]
