Hello,

I am getting an error whenever I try to run a capture using a ring buffer.

Steps: 1. From the Capture window: select the interface 2. In the Output tab, provide a filename and directory in the "File:" box (i.e. C:/capture.pcapng) 3. Select "Create a new file automatically after..." and select the first box. Choose a small file size (100 kB for example) 4. Select "Use a ring buffer with", and choose a number (3 or 4 for example) 5. Start the filter

After a few minutes, I will receive an error that says "The file "capture####.pcapng does not exist".

When I check the directory, there will be a set of linked files, with a count of one more than the number I specified (if I chose a ring buffer of 3, there will be four files), but the last one is incomplete.

Does anyone else get this error? Any ideas?

This is very helpful. Thank you for clarifying :)

Thank you for the feedback. I am using 2.6.1 on Windows 7. I will keep playing with it to see if I can find anything els
