Ah right, ok

The system I'm doing the graphing on has surely enough ram to handle those 44 
arrays and more.
I guess I would rather hit the maximum line-length limit.

Right. I just assumed that rrd would automatically translate unknown to 0 in 
this case.
Or that there was a global option to tell it so...


Anyway, thanks for your help and clear explanations !
