[rrd-users] Spaces in file names causing issues

[Aaron Thomas Holt]

Hi all,

I have a ganglia installation using rrdcached and I'm having problems with
spaces in filenames. I'm monitoring 30ish clusters. Clusters that don't
have spaces in their filenames are updated as expected. Clusters named
"Rack ##" are not being updated. This only started when I added rrdcached
(which I need as file I/O is high). Log info below:

strace -s 999 -f -p $(pgrep gmetad) 2>&1 | grep write | grep -i rack
[pid 31108] write(65, "UPDATE /var/lib/ganglia/rrds/Rack 12/
node1232-general.rc.colorado.edu/rx_bytes_eth1.rrd 1434749985:0.0000\n",

tail -f /var/log/messages

Is this a bug in rrdcached? Is there a work around?

Thanks,
Aaron
