Was hoping someone could shed some light on this... I have an installation of OpenSolaris (snv_101b), and I keep noticing that my / partition is full. I discovered that /var/fm/fmd was filling it up with ~100GB of core.fmd.* files. I can delete them easily enough, but sure enough, they come back after a few days.
How far apart in time are the core dumps? The current SMF criteria for "restarting too quickly, will place into maintenance state" are too-easily defeated by a process that takes a few seconds to start up (as fmd does). So if the core happens during startup we can be restarted indefinitely and keep dumping core, and fill up the filesystem while we're at it. There's a fix in the works to change the "restarting too quickly" criteria - might have helped here.
