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