Help no coredumps files make it to var/crash folder for squid.

I am trying to pull a core dump for Squid development team however I can not generate one. I would like to bring the Squid development team into some issues however they want access to the core dumps.

I have worked with Squid Email system and FreeBSD and pfSense netgate community we have created a test file and are able to create a coredump proof that it is enabled in the pfSense software and functional.

OK, let's have a little sanity check.

Write this script.

$ cat try.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo "PID $$ sleeping..."
sleep 1000

Make it executable then run it.

Then "kill -11 <pid>" where <pid> is the number the script printed.

Example

$ ./try.sh
PID 148152 sleeping...

$ kill -11 148152
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

$ ls l core*
-rw------ 1 me me 450560 Jun 12 21:50 core

Hence, check if you can get any user process to dump a core file.

If it doesn't dump core, check your ulimit -c again.
Let's prove that your system can actually write a corefile for a process that segfaults.
It should of course write the core file to the current directory.@

This worked i have created a core dump see below however Squid does not generate one.

Shell Output - ls -l /root/sh.core
-rw------- 1 root wheel 11280384 Jun 12 14:02 /root/sh.core

I have used
killall -11 Squid
kill -11 PID for squid
kill -6 PID for squid
kill -11 squid
kill -SIGABRT squid PId

nothing is working.

I have also use the squid directive

coredump_dir /var/log/squid

nothing is generating a coredump file for Squid
