Hi Johannes,

I am looking at devcoredump subsystem and I was wondering about the 
lifetime of the devcd folder. With dev_coredumpm() the description says: 
"If a previous one hasn't been read yet, the new coredump is 
discarded.". I am wondering what "read" means here. For testing I call 
dev_coredumpv() every second, but when I hexdump the data file it does 
not create a new devcd folder. That only occurs after 5 minutes. Is that 
expected?

Regards,
Arend
