[rrd-users] Bug in dump/restore

[Fabian Zimmermann]

Hello,

is there a known bug in dump/restore of rrdtool? I tried to find some 
more information, but google didn't return anything useful.

If I do a:

rrdtool dump test.rrd > dump.xml

i get:

<!-- 2009-10-08 01:50:00 CEST / 1254959400 --> <row><v> 1.4980000000e+01

followed by:

rrdtool restore dump.xml restored.rrd
rrdtool dump restored.rrd

and I got:

I tested this with 1.3.1 (Lenny) and 1.3.8 (Squeeze). I also tried 
"--no-header" and/or "--range-check", but still the same.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,
Fabian
