Hi
I get an error when I do rrdtool graph like:  "ERROR: Not a valid
vname: rmin in line GPRINT:rmin:Min %6.0lf" even when the variable
rmin is defined. I'm out of ideas about why it complains. System is
etchnhalf (2.6.24) and RRDtool 1.2.15.

rrdtool create /home/bachman/dev/rrdscript/data/diskstats-sda.rrd -s
