Re: [SLE] /proc/kcore eating up space in my root FS

From http://www.unixguide.net/linux/faq/04.16.shtml

What Is /proc/kcore?
None of the files in /proc are really there--they're all, "pretend,"
files made up by the kernel, to give you information about the system
and don't take up any hard disk space.
/proc/kcore is like an "alias" for the memory in your computer. Its
size is the same as the amount of RAM you have, and if you read it as
a file, the kernel does memory reads.
