Memory dump!

[teo]

Hello community!

How do I proceed with the memory dump so that it does not automatically generate files on the FreeBSD system?

Not sure if that's all that's needed but set the sysctl(8) kern.coredump to 0.

# sysctl -d kern.coredump
kern.coredump: Enable/Disable coredumps

Can he comment out this line in /etc/rc.conf ?

dumpdev="AUTO"

# sysctl -d kern.coredump
kern.coredump: Enable/Disable coredumps

Is confusing of memory dump, the variable was added to the /etc/sysctl.conf file and continues to generate automatically those files of memory dump.

# vi /etc/sysctl.conf

kern.coredump=0

No, that's for kernel crash dumps (see dumpon(8)).

# vi /etc/sysctl.conf

kern.coredump=0

Have you applied the setting with service sysctl restart ? What does sysctl kern.coredump return now?

# sysctl -d kern.coredump

Isn't this what generates the memory dump? This is an option to activate or deactivate at the time the base system is being installed.

# vi /etc/rc.conf

# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"

Yes.

Ok commented, it's under observation, it seems to be solved.
