So, I THINK that there no way stop coredumping in progress, just because coredumping is KERNEL task, and process is dead. So, wait for finish and then limit coredump size. As workaround (to free network and disk resources on NFS server), I think (but I am NOT sure) you can just unplug network cable. -- Igor Roboul, Unix System Administrator & Programmer @ sanatorium "Raduga", Sochi, Russia http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=304744 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
