Vdsm configures a world-writable /var/log/core/ in order to help debugging serious bugs in RHEV nodes (i.e. libvirtd/qemu/python crash). We were aware of the problems in this approach, and were ready to pay the price in the product RHEV. However, this may make less sense for a community project: if someone wants to keep his qemu core dumps, he can configure this himself, or use abrt or whatever. However, I am not aware of the specific error that you are seeing. Which vdsm are you using? which kernel? where is the error log shown? What is your exact patch to vdsm/vdsm-logrotate.conf? And most interesting: what had its core dumped? why?
