<para>These files configure the behavior of

a handler for core dumps invoked by the kernel. Whether <command>systemd-coredump</command> is used
|
|
is determined by the kernel's

|
<varname>kernel.core_pattern</varname> <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sysctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>

<para>When cores are stored in the journal, they might be compressed following journal compression

settings, see

When cores are stored externally, they will be compressed by default, see below.</para>

<para>Note that in order to process a coredump (i.e. extract a stack trace) the core must be written

to disk first. Thus, unless <varname>ProcessSizeMax=</varname> is set to 0 (see below), the core will
|
|
be written to <filename>/var/lib/systemd/coredump/</filename> either way (under a temporary filename,
|
|
or even in an unlinked file), <varname>Storage=</varname> thus only controls whether to leave it
|
|
there even after it was processed.</para>

sure that old core dumps are removed as soon as the total disk

space taken up by core dumps grows beyond this limit (defaults

to 10% of the total disk size). <option>KeepFree=</option>
|

controls how much disk space to keep free at least (defaults
|
|
to 15% of the total disk size). Note that the disk space used
|
|
by core dumps might temporarily exceed these limits while
|
|
core dumps are processed. Note that old core dumps are also

removed based on time via

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-tmpfiles</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
