hi network optix,

we have had several nx1 all go offline.  it appears the nx server crashes and a core dump fills up the root partition, preventing the server from starting up.

running the below commands will remove the core files and should prevent further core dumps from being stored in the root partition.

is this an issue network optix is aware of, and is there any plan to push a patch similar to the code below to prevent this issue in the future?

if [[ $(cat /etc/security/limits.conf | grep -c '* soft core 0') == 0 ]]; then echo "* soft core 0" >>/etc/security/limits.conf; fi

if [[ $(cat /etc/security/limits.conf | grep -c '* hard core 0') == 0 ]]; then echo "* hard core 0" >>/etc/security/limits.conf; fi

rm -f /opt/networkoptix/mediaserver/bin/core.*

reboot

  Hello

  We've modified the script so it moves the latest core dumps from the root partition to the storage freeing up some space.

  This is done regularly when nx1 boots up.

  This will be included in the monthly patch.

  Thank you for your feedback
