Is there some age out timer involved.
From the coredump.conf(5) man page
MaxUse=, KeepFree=
Enforce limits on the disk space taken up by externally stored core
dumps. MaxUse= makes sure that old core dumps are removed as soon as
the total disk space taken up by core dumps grows beyond this limit
(defaults to 10% of the total disk size). KeepFree= controls how
much disk space to keep free at least (defaults to 15% of the total
disk size). Note that the disk space used by core dumps might
temporarily exceed these limits while core dumps are processed. Note
that old core dumps are also removed based on time via systemd-
tmpfiles(8). Set either value to 0 to turn off size-based clean-up.
So, yes.
And if it is not missing, how do I extract it?
By default the core files are kept in /var/lib/systemd/coredump/
If files are "missing" nothing can be extracted.
