Re: unifed2 log

Hi, Ron H, sorry for the late response.

I did a patch some years ago that makes snort don't rotate when writing U2
packet type records. The base version of the patch is outdated 2.9.8.3, but
it shouldn't be too complicated to update that.

As I show in patch doc, this breaks the U2 hard limit so that files could
grow beyond the limit. That was not a problem in my case, but it could be
for yours.

Maybe a better solution could be to modify the spooler to accept the break,
but that was not the path I took.

I hope it helps, regards!
