<div dir="ltr">thanks, just one more question, I would think that it would be more efficient to have multiple sub-buffers writing to a file versus one sub-buffer to one file,.

</span>No, the tracefile-size options does what it says, the limitation is that<br>
the smallest unit it can work with is the subbuf-size. So the smallest<br>
tracefile size you can have is the subbuf-size.<br>
<br>
If you are using 4k subbuffers and you limit the size of the tracefiles<br>
to 4M, then you will have at most 1000 full packets in each tracefile.<br>
But if you have subbuffers of 8M, the smallest tracefile size you can<br>
have is 8M.<br>
