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.
Thanks a lot!
