[flow-tools] problems with expire

[Mark Fullmer]

Flow-capture needs to "own" its work directory.  Running flow-expire
in the same dir will cause the type of problem you ran into.

I'm not aware of any problems with flow-capture expiring files.

What does du -s -k /var/local/netflow/flow-capture show?
