This problem occurs only when Wireshark attempt to write on my smb mountpoint whatever the file size. With cifs, the problem is exactly
the same.
/mnt/trace mount -t cifs //10.35.10.223/trace /mnt/trace -o workgroup=WORKGROUP,username=admin
This is not blocking to me because I’m using dumpcap, but I’ll investigate later
