4.10 Oracle Linux Kernel Crash Core Files

The storage servers and database servers of Oracle Exadata are configured to generate Oracle Linux kernel crash core files in the /var/crash directory, when the Oracle Linux operating system malfunctions or crashes.

The crash utility can be used to analyze the crash files. The crash files are automatically removed by the ExaWatcher utility so that the files do not occupy more than 10 percent of the free disk space on the file system. Older crash files are removed first.
