Re: Abrt sometimes deleting all crashes
I have 116 GiB of free disk space, that's more than 4*MaxCrashReportsSize. MaxCrashReportsSize is 25000 MiB. All crashes never take up more than 2 GiB on my disk before ABRT starts deleting them. When ABRT starts deleting bugs, it often deletes all of them or all but one even though the last remaining crash just takes ~16 MiB on my disk. Still sounds like a bug to me. ___ Crash-catcher mailing list -- crash-catcher@lists.fedorahosted.org To unsubscribe send an email to crash-catcher-le...@lists.fedorahosted.org

Re: Abrt sometimes deleting all crashes
Hi Christian, unfortunately, the thing with ABRT deleting crash reports is not a bug, it's a feature. ABRT tries to be smart and to not to destroy your machine by filling 100% disk space - running out of disk space a big problem. This goal is achieved by a check for _free space_ on the partition with DumpLocation (usually / var/spool/abrt). If free space is lower than MaxCrashReportsSize/4, ABRT goes to remove its files. So with higher MaxCrashReportsSize you need more free disk space. While I like this effort, the implementation deserves to be made it more wise and the log message must be definitely updated, because it doesn't tell you what's wrong.

If you install packages manually from koji, package are not signed and you have to set 'OpenGPGCheck' option to 'yes' in /etc/abrt/abrt-action-save-package-data.conf to catch such a crashes. > Because of abrt deleting my crashes, I get these a lot: "ignoring (repeated > crash)". How can I reset abrt's behavior about crashes it has seen before? Removing /var/spool/abrt/last-ccpp file should help.

In my /etc/abrt/abrt.conf, I've set MaxCrashReportsSize = 25000 So no, the limit is not reached for sure if I get just 1…5 simple crashes. ABRT is just taking some hundred MiB on my disk, not 25 GiB. ___ Crash-catcher mailing list -- crash-catcher@lists.fedorahosted.org To unsubscribe send an email to crash-catcher-le...@lists.fedorahosted.org
