With 'ulimit -Sc unlimited' and 'ulimit -Hc unlimited' I was under the impression that there would be no limit on the size of a core file. However with a process that allocates about 2900 MB (~3G) of memory, the core file is getting truncated at INT_MAX bytes.
Is there any way to go beyond this and get RedHat 7.1 use largefile support for core files. In particular, I'm looking for a configuration option and am very much less inclined to rebuild the kernel. Is this something that is known to be fixed in a later version of Redhat ? A quick review of the 7.1 sources indicate that fs/exec.c is opening a core file without providing the O_LARGEFILE option. Whether it can provide the option (and whether it would then work) is something I've not tried.
