/proc/kcore This file represents the physical memory of the system and is stored in the ELF core file format. With this pseudo-file, and an unstripped kernel (/usr/src/linux/vmlinux) binary, GDB can be used to examine the current state of any kernel data structures.

2022年4月27日 · /proc/kcore - 128TB a link to the file ok, i creating a project in a Windows VM, the Linux+Windows, copying my host files to vm using VMware Tools Shared Folders but i doesn't have 128tb on the virtual disk (vmdk), it a 70gb vmdk, and shows You need 128TB More to do this operation, i searched this in internet and very very results. what is this ...

2014年6月1日 · The numbered directories contain information about running processes. The kcore file allows access to the entire kernel virtual address space, which is 128 TB on amd64. Other virtual filesystems include /dev and /sys.

2018年12月19日 · /proc is a virtual filesystem, it does not occupy real disk space as ext4 does for example.. A simplistic answer to your query, i.e. without going too much into the complexity of procfs, is that within /proc are core files, and they represent the virtual address space of the processes, which are as large as the address space your CPU can address.

2011年7月19日 · The culprit seems to be /proc/kcore with a size of 128Tb (my HD is 100Tb with 24Gb RAM). I understand that this file is a virtual file and contains the RAM the kernel can allocate and that I cannot delete it.

2017年12月23日 · It seems that the comments above has the answer, which is using --exclude with double hyphen. I would like to note that copy pasting from the question results in ? marks in my console thus the dash stripes might be changed inadvertently (maybe by a word processing software) into EN dash unicode character.

You're off by a thousand, since the size is in bytes. According to Novell knowledge base, the kcore file is all the addressable memory of the kernel. The size correspond to the arcitecture limits and you have a 64 bit linux-system with a 128TiB kcore. As with most files under /proc/, it's a virtual file and it's not wise to do anything with it.
