[rrd-users] Teething problems with rrdtool "expected 5 data source readings (got 4) from..."

[Adam Nealis]

As a way to get the hang of rrdtool I decided to create
graphs of daily price changes in some funds I invested
in. So I expect to be able to draw a graph consisting of
4 lines on one graph.

But when I run

$ rrdtool update

as below, with the

$ rrdtool create

as below, I get the following error message:

ERROR: expected 5 data source readings (got 4) from 1038268800:3.085:0.982:0.705:0.321:...

What am I doing wrong? I have RTFM, and gone through the tutorial
but I can't work out what I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Adam Nealis
