Option-File Format

Permitted Values
Type

Default
OFF
Write a core file if
mysqld
dies. The name and location of the core file is system dependent. On
Linux, a core file named
core.pid
is written to the current working directory of the process, which
for
mysqld
is the data directory.
pid
represents the process ID of the server process. On Mac OS
X, a core file named
core.pid
is written to the
/cores
directory. On Solaris, use the
coreadm
command to specify where to write the core file and how to name it.
For some systems, to get a core file you must also specify the
--core-file-size
[247] option
to
mysqld_safe
. See Section 4.3.2, “
mysqld_safe
— MySQL Server Startup Script” . On some
systems, such as Solaris, you do not get a core file if you are also using the
--user
[424] option.
There might be additional restrictions or limitations. For example, it might be necessary to execute
ulimit -c unlimited
before starting the server. Consult your system documentation.
