I don't know if this would be good or not, but I could see it being useful.
This is low priority for me but is something that would slightly complicate the step of roll-off in https://github.com/gamelinux/cxtracker/issues/16, so I'm going ahead and talking about it now.
Vision: pcaps are logged to directories like /pcaps/2013-01-15/cxt.eth0.1358251200
This might make management on disk easier for two reasons:
1) It breaks up storage into multiple directories
2) It names the directories in such a way that retrieval is easier
Downside:
1) OpenFPC currently does not expect pcaps logged by date
2) Creates slight complications for automated retrieval because figuring out directory becomes a necessary step. However, since the directory is the date, and the date is trivially determined in code, automated retrieval is still possible.
