I have a little function I use, I call 'ff' for fast find.
Try putting this into your .bashrc file.
function ff { find . -name "$*" -print; }
You can use this from anywhere, but in your case I suggest you
issue the command command 'ff /core' that should locate all your
core files. You can also use wildcards such as 'ff /core*'.
Be sure to re-read your .bashrc file before trying to use it
the first time by issuing command 'source .bashrc'.
After you have done this add this to your .bashrc file, so as
not to create anymore core files.
ulimit -c 0
Hope this helps, it is a nice feature, I use it all the time.
