Segfaults

Hi everyone, 

I am still having problems with this. I made sure apport was running and the /var/crash directory exists. But when 
a segfault happens nothing is written to the directory. The segfaults also seem to come and go. 

Thanks, 

Tyler

Hi Tyler, 
when an appliaction is crashing it should leave a .crash file in /var/crash which stores debugging information. 
Base on that you can automatically report a bug that has most of the info to start with. 
See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Crash_reports for more. 

If you want to look into it more yourself I'd recommend starting with 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash

Kind regards,

Hi everyone, 
We are currently experiencing some odd issues on our ubuntu servers (14.04). We 
keep seeing segfault messages for mdadm but we are not sure if they are a bug or 
a real problem. The servers are two completely different physical boxes. Both 
are running the 3.13.0-88-generic kernal and mdadm version 3.2.5-5ubuntu4.3. 
Here are the two most common errors we see: "[2201076.898901] mdadm[17298]: 
segfault at 8 ip 00007f3445891d16 sp 00007ffc2cd425f8 error 4 in 
libc-2.23.so [7f3445807000+1c0000]" and "[39304.894195] mdadm[17613]: segfault at 
0 ip 00007fb29477cd16 sp 00007ffe8ce211d8 error 4 in 
libc-2.23.so [7fb2946f2000+1c0000]". Any help or advice would be greatly 
apperciated. 
Thanks, 
Tyler
