Excerpts from Frederick Grose's message of Sat Aug 14 04:50:22 +0200 2010: > /var/cache/abrt is another directory that can quickly fill the operating > system overlay file. In testing I've noticed 10s to 100s of megabytes in > coredumps in subdirectories of /var/cache/abrt/. That sounds like something is seriously wrong. Cores are only dumped if a process is exiting abnormally, with segfaults being the most common cause. Even for a single program this should be rare (and is always a bug) and much more so for a set of programs (which I suppose are the different subdirectories in /var/cache/abrt - I don't have this tool installed on any of my systems, so I can't check).
