pktt won't stop to trace when it reach the limit pktt do record in a cycle fashion

use this command to pktt start e0 -s 500M to save a trace to a file of 500MB max check this link for all details about the syntax

To catch an application problem, I want to leave pktt trace running on a filer...overnight. If I do, it'll fill it up.

I know you can tell it to bound the amount of space it uses, but I think it stops tracing once it hits that. Is there any way to get it to keep tracing within a bounded amount of disk space, just overwriting old trace files? That way I would have the last few hours of trace.

Thanks,
