In 3.0, pcap is now captured via Suricata instead of Stenographer. What is your maxsize (Administration -> Configuration -> suricata -> pcap -> maxsize) set to? You might try lowering that significantly as a test. I imagine you'll need to manually clear out your nsm again in order to get things back to normal before your test. The formula for how maxsize works is here: #15626 .

Is there a "safe" way to manually clean out the nsm partition? I am having the same issues and suricata is configured correctly.

Do you have production data you need to keep or is this a test environment and you can delete all the data and start over? If it's the latter, I'd say a sudo so-nsm-clear should do the trick. Here's another thread that may be helpful: #5839
