rrd update error after 4.2 install
I installed a new 4.2 system today and copied all of the old history and rrd files from a 4.1.2 system.
All of the history seems just fine, but updating the rrd files seems problematic. For each host and test that causes an rrd update of a copied file, I get the following in /var/log/hobbit/rrd-status.log:
2006-08-26 21:46:02 RRD error updating /home/hobbit/data/rrd/vtpsrv/memory.actual.rrd from 172.17.0.12: rrd->ds_def malloc
The old system was architecture s390 (which is 32-bit) the new system is architecture s390x (which is 64-bit). Is that the difference, or are there other reasons that rrd files not transportable?
Thanks.

In general you cannot move rrd files across different platforms without doing an "rrdtool dump" on the old system and "rrdtool restore" on the new one.
I have never seen this particular error before, but it is something from the rrdtool library, so I would suspect that this is the problem.

I expected as much and will work on a mass dump and restore script.
Thanks.
