If you use MRTG you should use a correct MaxBytes value, it automatically
tunes the rrdfile at every update. You can dump and restore once to fix the
spikes that are already in the rrdfile. MRTG will try to update the rrdfile
with any new spikes, BUT rrd will ignore these updates because they are out
of range. Make sure you set a valid MaxBytes value or you will complain of
MRTG not updating the rrdfile, which isn't true. MRTG does the update but
rrd ignores it.

Tobi: Should there be a warning when MRTG tries to update rrd with a value
out of range? People get confused about this silent behaviour.

Yes, at every update, so there's no need to recreate the rrdfile or do it
manually.
