Hi Christian,
unfortunately, the thing with ABRT deleting crash reports is not a bug, it's
a feature.
ABRT tries to be smart and to not to destroy your machine by filling 100%
disk space - running out of disk space a big problem. This goal is achieved
by a check for _free space_ on the partition with DumpLocation (usually /
var/spool/abrt). If free space is lower than MaxCrashReportsSize/4, ABRT
goes to remove its files. So with higher MaxCrashReportsSize you need more
free disk space.
While I like this effort, the implementation deserves to be made it more
wise and the log message must be definitely updated, because it doesn't tell
you what's wrong.
"> If MaxCrashReportsSize is not reached and crashes are still deleted
it is probably a bug. What OS (distro and version) are you using?
Fedora 25. Any details to attach to the bug?
If you install packages manually from koji, package are not signed
and you
have to
set 'OpenGPGCheck' option to 'yes' in
/etc/abrt/abrt-action-save-package-data.conf
to catch such a crashes.
Thanks!"
Eh, Matej, you wanted to write 'no', right? Because Christian wants stop
ABRT from dropping crashes of unsigned packages.
"""
Removing /var/spool/abrt/last-ccpp file should help.
Matej
Thank you!
