Re: delete files in /var/admin/crash
These are not critical. You can delete everything under crash.0 ...
These files are used to do the crash dump analysis and are left over from the last system crash. If you don't need to do any crash dump analysis, you don't need these files.
hope this helps.

Re: delete files in /var/admin/crash
It looks to me like you had a system crash on May 1 of last year. Unless you have some desire to analyze this ancient crash or you'd like to reminisce with your colleagues about the crash of May 1, 2003, I'd get rid of them!

Re: delete files in /var/admin/crash
You don't need to keep them if you don't need to analyse previous system crash.
Best of luck

Re: delete files in /var/admin/crash
If you have not had any problems on your system for a while then you can remove them.
When your system crashes, a new directory (next will be crash.1) is created.
The memory dump is "sliced" up to make file manipulation easier and each "image" is a slice.
The files are usually gzipped by default and you would need to gunzip them if you wanted to troubleshoot them.
If you dont have the INDEX, vmunix and all of the image files listed in the INDEX file then the dump is useless.
Best regards,
