Giant dump files

[firemanking]

Hi all,

First time posting here ^^;
So as the title says, I found out that SoftEther VPN Client had been creating these dump files, which are each ~150 MB, but then in large quantities.
How large? Well, it's about 1.4 TB when I finally found what the heck was eating up my disk space.
Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Thanks,

take a look into your logging settings. You might have enabled full package logging. Those go into the install sub folders.

Hi drewex, thanks for the reply.
Where can I find that setting? Is it the client setting or the specific VPN setting?

Thanks!

What is the name of those files?
Could you give me an example?

I completely disabled logging with "chattr +i"

applied on security_log, package_log, server_log - no single file created afterwards

I use OrangePiZero and package "chattr" doesnot exist, so I put microSD card into UBUNTU PC and changed it there, it works!

No idea how to make it with NOR based devices ... any idea?

Hi all,

Sorry to get back super late on this, but here are some example of the file names:

dump_20190109_154354.dmp
dump_20181230_053125.dmp
dump_20181230_042839.dmp

Each file is around 150 MB

Thanks.

They are not files output by SoftEther VPN.
I think it is a crash dump generated by the OS.
Is there record of application crash in the event log?

1.4 TB? That's insane!

I didn't find any error that's related to SoftEther software during the time the files are created...
The last batch of files seems to have been around 12/30~1/2, and nothing new until I deleted the files on 1/10.
