Nobody answered because you should first do some research. There's a guy named Google that may help you ;)
Whenever the server crashes the OS creates a core file with the content of the memory. The file can be used for debugging, to find out what was wrong when the error occurred. You can find more about core files here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_dump If you start the dedicated server using -debug command line argument then the gdb tool is used by srcds_run script when the server crashes to get the backtrace from core file and to create a file named debug.log. By default the size of the core file is limited to few megabytes and this is the reason you see that error message (expected 200MB and found only ~1MB). Note that the message is from gdb tool, not from server. To change the default limit for core files use ulimit -c <KB> in the script used for starting the server. For example I use a 2GB limit: ulimit -c 2097152 ./srcds_run -game tf -debug ... Now when the server crashes again you can check the debug.log file to find where the error occurred. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shin Ice Sent: Monday, October 24, 2011 12:09 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Core Size and other issue Hi again, I can't believe that no one has an answer for my question or at least a hint for me.
