Is there any way of stopping a core dump in progress? While usually I do want to examine core dumps, I had a process going nuts and consuming 500+ MB of virtual memory on a box with 256 MB. Writing the core dump over NFS took incredibly long (state nfsaio most of the time). I tried removing the growing core file and sending the crashing process signals 15 and 9, but nothing worked. So, short of disabling core dumps or limiting the coredumpsize, is there a way to address this on a case by case base, by manually stopping the core dump?
