Same story.

And than no other files get created other than

-rw-r--r-- 1 sguil sguil 1.9G May  5 20:18 snort.log.1399321111.pcap
-rw-r--r-- 1 sguil sguil 1.8G May  5 20:18 snort.log.1399321118.pcap

Judging by the iostat -m -x 1 the application saves nothing to disk - i.e. it does not perform any writes.
Thanks for testing! Can you try whether the patch below (or download
from [1]) fixes your problem?
