[rrd-users] Re: RRA and graph question

[Michael Smith]

The only problem with your RRAs vs. what I want to do, is that
aver 2 days you lose your 5 minute resolution.  I want to 
keep my 5 minute resolution for a full year so I can 
compare this month last year to this year and have a more
accurate comparison.  So, in my case, my create is correct
and your's would be wrong.  It all comes down to how
you want to store and analyze your data.  The only reason
I have the lower resolution RRAs is for the daily limits
for graphing the extremes.
