[rrd-users] Error in database?

[Mats Gustafsson]

That definitely makes sense.
I have taken backups of my old databases and if it looks like resize did
not work I will go for your proposal.
So far I have, with drraw, looked at graphs presenting data being 2
years old as well as data from today and both looks ok.

Many thanks for your kind support Karl!

Best regards, Mats
