At the time of your message, the system had already been running for 36 hours, so I don't think anything useful would have come of that. I did find out why savecore didn't work during the reboot-- /var is not large enough, as this machine has 16GB of RAM, and /var is only about 9GB. Obviously a pretty big oversight in the setup. My question now is, can
Not at all, assuming you were not already mostly full. When the system crashes, only kernel memory is written to dump device (usually swap). Unless you have something really strange going on, this is going to be a small fraction of the size of physical memory. For more details on the expected size of the the kernel core file, see InfoDoc 80249 (assuming you have a support contract...). FWIW, on a very active (being pounded by Oracle) 15k domain with over 300 GB RAM, the biggest core that I have seen was about 17 GB. Typically these systems will require somewhere between 6 GB and 12 GB for a kernel core dump.
