The crash dump files are stored either in the /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports (system-wide) or ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticsReports (user-wide) directories, depending on the type of the process that has led to the crash.

Another crash dump file named core.<pid> (where <pid> stands for the PID of the crashed process) must be created in the /cores directory. In order to create this second crash dump file, activate the full core dumps via the ulimit -c unlimited command which makes the core dump files size unlimited. Also make sure to have write permissions for the /cores directory.

In case the /cores directory is hidden in Finder, you can show the hidden files via the defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE command.

You should make the size of the core dump files unlimited via the ulimit -c unlimited command. If the core dump files are not disabled in any other way, this should be sufficient to create a core.<pid> dump file in the current working directory or in the /var/lib/systemd/coredump directory, if using systemd. Here, <pid> stands for the PID of the crashed process.

In case no core dump file has been created, the following configuration files must be checked based on the Linux distribution used:

  • (non-systemd GNU Linux distributions - CentOS 6.x and others): Make sure that there is either no /etc/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf file or it has a valid configuration value for the kernel.core_pattern. If you are uncertain, just remove the line from the file. This action may require root access.

  • (systemd based GNU Linux distributions - CentOS 7, Fedora and others): Make sure that there is no limit for the storage in /etc/systemd/coredump.conf.d/custom.conf by confirming that the [Coredump] Storage=none configuration lines are not present.
