Hi,

I’m seeing the same behavior on other NFS servers: FreeBSD 6 and Solaris 9. Interestingly when I use an Xserver 10.4.9 as the NFS server the capture does not get split into 2GB files. The only difference I can tell is in the NFS server FSINFO response in which the max file size is set to ‘FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF’ (all ‘1’s). All other NFS servers max file size is 4TB. Maybe there’s some unspoken agreement between Max clients and servers to not split files if the NFS max file size is set to all ‘1’s but that is purely a shot in the dark.

If you find a solution or have a different theory please let me know.
