Solaris Core Dump Maximums

Does Anyone know what is the maximum core dump size allowed in solaris (2.6 or 5.8). I am not looking for the user specified limit but rather the solaris maximum limits.

I don't think there is a limit (we had a server here that was crashing and dumping every 11.5 hours, and it just filled up its filesystem with vmcores). You can use /usr/sbin/dumpadm to set a minfree value which will be the minimum free space that must be maintained on a file system (meaning that a vmcore can't be saved if there isn't enough space). But that pertains to crash dumps, not core files, so I'm not sure if that answers your question or not.

Add a line to /etc/system that reads: set sys:coredumpsize = # (Where # can be whatever size you choose for maximum core size)

You can also use coreadm(1M) to disable them entirely.
