Hi Trey,

here is what I did on my RRD file:

rrdtool tune eth0.rrd -i input:0
rrdtool tune eth0.rrd -a output:0
rrdtool tune eth0.rrd -a input:4294967295
rrdtool tune eth0.rrd -a output:4294967295

Since I did that the counter has wrapped multiple times and there are no peaks
in my RRD or graphs any more :-)

Best regards,
Lordy
