Obtaining a core file

In case of a crash, a core file may make it easier for us to investigate the issue and provide a fix. However, typically Linux systems are configured so that core files are not generated by default.

In case the crash is easily repeatable, please do as follows to obtain a core file that can be attached to a bug-report (https://mariadb.atlassian.net/projects/MXS).

• Turn yourself into the user maxscale

    user@host$ sudo su - maxscale -s /bin/bash
    [sudo] password for user: 
    No directory, logging in with HOME=/
    maxscale@host:/$
  

  The user maxscale does not have a login shell, which is why it must be specified explicitly.

• Enable core file.

    maxscale@host$ ulimit -c unlimited
    maxscale@hosr$ ulimit -c
    unlimited
