Quoting John Baldwin <j...@freebsd.org> (from Mon, 27 Sep 2010 09:28:47 -0400):

savecore already has support for a 'minfree' file to prevent
crashdumps filling the crashdir.  Maybe the default install should
include a minfree set to (say) 512MB.

The one problem this approach is it implements a FIFO instead of a LIFO.  I
want the N most recent crashdumps to be saved, not the first N.

Check the size in the shell script before, remove older ones ("ls -1t | grep pattern | tail +<N+1>" gives you possible candidates).

Bye,
Alexander.
