Well it's a FIFO, so everytime a value is added the oldest value
Gets shifted out.

say your RRA holds 5 minute samples for a month, starts at 
2000-01-01 00:00:00 and ends at 2000-01-31 23:55:00.

Then after an update on 2000-02-01 00:00:00, the RRA will start at
2000-01-01 00:05:00 and end at 2000-02-01 00:00:00.

And this is valid for every RRA.

Serge.
