Core files under Linux
When dealing with MySQL crashes it is very useful to get the core files for further debugging. I have collected all the informations I found about it and wrote it together here:
Find core files
# find $HOME -name "core*"
/home/oli/core.6440
# file core
core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style
See who caused the core file:
# strings core.6440 | head
CORE
CORE
mysqld
/home/mysql/product/mysql-5.1.30/bin/mysqld …
