I have a FS that is increasing in size very slowly. A technician told me that sometimes it could be a core dump dumping data over and over in the same FS.

I would like to know if this is the case.

How can I know if there is a dump dumping in the system?

Which are the commands?

Thanks

What version of RedHat are you using....coredump is available in RHEL starting from 5 via kdump utility

kdump is for kernel crash dumping - not core dumps.

Assuming abrtd is not running, to find the core dump pattern do:
Code:
# sysctl -a | grep core_pattern

and then search for that.

For example
Code:
# sysctl -a | grep core_pattern
kernel.core_pattern = /tmp/core.%p

This means that the core dump files will be generated in the “/tmp” directory. The “%p” extension is used to append the process id of the application that crashed. BTW, the variable kernel.core_pattern can also used to change the name of core dump files so they are not necessarily named "core"
