I'm in a very desperate situation here; my rrds are out of space, and now data is being lost; as of the moment i've lost about a month of data, and I really cannot afford to lose anymore. I know the resize command, but it doesn't seem to be doing what it should be. First question, do you specify a DS or an RRA? For sake of example, and to help my understanding:
rra[0].rows = 1200 is saying that the RRA number (that would be used in resize) is 0 -- yes? and if a DS was or could be used: ds[rxPeakByteRate14].type = "GAUGE" is saying that the DS 'number' (or name in this case) that I would use is rxPeakByteRate14, correct? This information was taken from rrdtool info. This will clear up which name I should be using; as in a previous post on Tuesday, the author mentioned DS, and not RRA as written in the documentation. I have tried all combinations (all 96) of both DS names and the RRA number from below though, and it doesn't seem to correct the problem.. rra[0].rows = 1200 remains exactly the same, and the filesize does not grow, though, rrdtool pauses for about 30 seconds while it's doing 'something'. Each RRD contains about 96 + 1 DSs, and there is only one RRA that I need to pull from. I know that's a lot, but that shouldn't cause a problem outside of very large files, correct? Here are some examples of the commands I have used for this When trying to use DSs # rrdtool resize bkup.rrd Default GROW 10000 # ls -al bkup.rrd -rw------- 1 root other 1814136 Dec 6 11:33 bkup.rrd # rrdtool resize bkup.rrd Default GROW 10 # ls -al bkup.rrd -rw------- 1 root other 1814136 Dec 6 11:33 bkup.rrd ... etc. Now when using the RRA number # rrdtool resize bkup.rrd 0 GROW 1000 # ls -al bkup.rrd -rw------- 1 root other 1814136 Dec 6 11:33 bkup.rrd # rrdtool resize bkup.rrd 0 GROW 10000 # ls -al bkup.rrd -rw------- 1 root other 1814136 Dec 6 11:33 bkup.rrd Oh, and yes.. I know the first thing someone would wonder is: # id uid=0(root) gid=1(other) and another thing that I would like to note is: # date Thu Dec 7 09:51:47 EST 2000 .. which means that the file is not even being written to at all (bkup.rrd is obviously not live data, but a copy of it used to try to figure this out) If anyone at all can please help me, I'd appreciate it very much; thank you everyone. ..Sean. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
