• With the cyclical trace, the trace information alternately to the files dev_col1 and dev_col2 : The trace is first written in the file dev_col1. When dev_col1 exceeds a set size, the trace is written to dev_col2. The size is 50,000 lines. This number is not configurable. When dev_col2 exceeds this size, dev_col1 is deleted and the trace is written to this file again. This process is continuous. This ensures that the current trace is always accessible, without a trace file being able to grow to any size.
