Csongor, Thanks for that, that would explain the size as my memory is 512mb. I don't use the / directory much, but it has become 100%, and the /proc/kcore file looked the likely culprit. I will have to look now for the real perpetrator.
Thanks, Tony. -----Original Message----- From: �d�m Csongor [mailto:adam_csongor@;seznam.cz] Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 3:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] kcore file Hi On Mon, 4 Nov 2002 14:40:50 -0000 "Tony S.

The answer: The whole /proc filesystem is imagenary so it does not take up even one Kb on your hard drive. Kcore shouldn't grow at all BTW, because it mirrors your RAM, and should be the same size as your RAM. But again: It does not eat up your hard drive.
