This was an unfortunate outcome for those of us who use sensord but do not use the RRD mode at all. I think it would have been better to just disable the RRD mode, but that wouldn't have been the right solution. I think the correct solution for sensord would be to detect these situations where the existing RRD file is incompatible, rename the existing one to to a backup and create a new one. This would mean that the old data is preserved (but only in a different location) and new data is recorded as per usual. Given the restrictions of the RRD format, I think this is the best solution that is easy to do. I'm going to try to write a patch to achieve this now. It seems that all of lm-sensors is dead upstream, not just sensord. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
