You can also use the limit command to change the max dump size. If you run 'ulimit -c 0 ' in a bash shell, and something called from that shell crashes, you will get no dump.

Today I got a panic from my server - filesystem is full on / I took a look, even though I hadn't added anything to /, and lo an behold I had this in /root:

How can I stop ruby from writing a core here, and/or how can I limit it to a smaller size? In the Unix partitioning scheme they advocate a small / partition for security, this mine is only 250Megs.
Thanks
