Package: gdb=7.6.1-1 Version: gdb Severity: normal I tried to run
generate-core-file /tmp/some-file with a multi-GB process; that filled up my /tmp completely. GDB wrote (manually translated) warning: Failed to write corefile contents (Out of disk space). ... Saved corefile /tmp/htr warning: cannot close "/tmp/some-file": out of disk space Deleting the file from another shell wasn't sufficient - GDB still had the filehandle open (as it says above)! # ls -la /proc/`pidof gdb`/fd ... lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 28 09:57 9 -> /tmp/some-file (deleted) So I *have* to quite GDB - and lose the debugged process on the way. Please just make GDB close the filehandle, so the space can be reclaimed.
