[cobalt-users] /proc/kcore generating continually?

[Greg Hewitt-Long <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just noticed that on our RAQ3, there appears to be a kcore generating every minute in /proc....

a couple of questions:

1. is this a kernel core dump?
2. where do I look to find out what's causing it?
3. what are the most likely causes of this?
4. should I be worried?
5. it's 201,330,688 bytes big which is running the partitions at:

/dev/hda1               743466    527432    216034  71% /
/dev/hda3               198601     17124    181477   9% /var
/dev/hda4              8597105   7148006   1449099  83% /home


Is this likely to grow?  If my guess is right, it's a kernel panic - and I'm seeing all memory and kernel activity dumped to the machine every minute - so I think I need to worry about this, as it's likely to thrash the disk to death...

thanks

Greg
