### Disabling core-dumps
45+
46+
If a large job crashes and tries to write core-dump files on thousands of processes,
47+
it will overwhelm the filesystem. Therefore we strongly recommend to disable them with
48+
the following command:
49+
50+
``` console title="disable writing of core-dump files"
51+
$ ulimit -S -c0
52+
```
