You need to specify the number of files with a keyword:
tethereal -a filesize:10 -b files:2 -w out.pcap
I think that will solve it for you.

Ring Buffer File with Tethereal |
|
Hello,
I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to get a ring buffer file to work in
tethereal. I set it up to create 2 files using the following command:
tethereal -a filesize:10 -b 2 -w out.pcap
Unfortunately, it seems to create more than two files. After running
it for a while I see:
out_00001_20050708133605.pcap
out_00001_20050708133606.pcap
out_00001_20050708133607.pcap
The longer I let it run, the more files I get. Is this a bug? Or am I
doing something wrong?
My version of tethereal is 0.10.11.
Thanks for your help,
Dominick Meglio
