If so, you may have a "limit" for corefiles.

Try typing in "limit" and see what it says, it might be that.


If you are on unix/linux, and you indeed have
   CREATE_CORE_FILES = True
in condor_config, then you should get core files dropped into Condor's LOG directory. Note that CREATE_CORE_FILES will automagically set the limit for you as John suggests above, but only if you start the condor_master as root. IIRC, if you are starting the condor_master as a non-root, you may need to setup the limit beforehand since non-root users cannot push the limit past any predefined hard limit.

Does the StartLog file give any indication about why the startd died with signal 11 in the first place? Also, what version are you running ("condor_startd -v") ?

Subject: [Condor-users] Core files
Hi,
	I'm trying to debug a problem where startd keeps crashing on my
compute nodes.  I'm trying to get it to produce a core file; I've turned
on CREATE_CORE_FILES, and startd has crashed with signal 11, but I can't
find the putative core files anywhere on the compute node.

Where should they be written to?  And if they're not being written
anywhere, any idea what to tweak to make them appear?

Ta,
