Also meant to add that I did upgrade n2disk and pfring at the same time from 
the stable repository.

Hi Alfredo,


I think I've narrowed down the issue to something my configuration file. If I 
just run simply:

sudo /usr/local/bin/n2disk10g -i zc:eth4 -o ./tmp


Then n2disk will open the ZC interface and capture data.


My config file is below. The only thing I've changed since the upgrade is to 
add a cluster-id for ZC (makes no difference in behavior with or without 
cluster-id):


-i zc:eth4

--cluster-id 99

--index

--dump-directory /data1/captures

--timeline-dir /data1/index

--max-file-len 1024

--buffer-len 4096

--max-num-files 43000

-P=/var/run/n2disk.pid

--event-log /var/log/n2disk.log

--reader-cpu-affinity 6

--writer-cpu-affinity 8

--compressor-cpu-affinity 10,11

--index-on-compressor-threads

--pcap-compression

--remove-ahead

Hi Derek
weird issue, just to make sure: did you update both pfring and n2disk from the 
repository at the same time?
please provide a few details:

1. n2disk command line (or configuration file)
2. cat /proc/net/pf_ring/dev/eth4/info
3. ls /proc/net/pf_ring after getting the error below

Thank you
Alfredo

Hello,

Today I upgraded to n2disk 2.6.160917. I also started using ZC rather than DNA 
drivers. Everything is working as far as I can tell on the pf_ring side, and 
zcount can access the interface. However, n2disk is not loading:
