thnx for the explanation

hmm i understand.
the problem is i don't know the maximum.
but i guess i could set one which is far too high but still below what rrdtool 
calculated.... :-)

what is so different from counter and derive then ?

i tried rrdtool tune to change the dst to derive. a minimum was already set.
if i graph a month view, i only see the end of the month, with those far too 
high numbers.
so i guess the changed dst will only make a difference by the next end of the 
month, when those too high values won't be added to the db but instead, 
"unknown". is that right?

if so, is it possible to change those some values around last endofmonth, to 
unknown ?
